Yes, please do! When I last visited they were out of burgundy and said
"Thank you for your inquiry.
We are all out of stock with our burgundy, and will actually not be replacing it until later this year when we introduce our new colors.
Another option you might want to consider which would look great, is a dark grey leather boot with burgundy stitching."
I wonder how closely it matches our Cedar Leather...?

Re: Custom shift boots for 6 spd cars
As far as the cedar, you would have to ask Beaner, but check out the pics in the beginning of the thread, Mike went with the two tones of grey leather they had for his boot, easy to compare.....
Also, in my gallery and pics I have photos of the grey alcantara, it is a VERY nice material, I was worried it would be cheesy when I ordered it, but it is top notch.

Re: Custom shift boots for 6 spd cars
I think the boot may have come in today (finally). I have a feeling the red will be "too red" to match cedar. Bear in mind I've never seen cedar in person, but in pictures it looks a bit "softer" than "**** lipstick red". I could be wrong, and I'll post some pics later if it is the package that is waiting for me. Standby boys!
EDIT:
Finally, the boot came! Great piece, nicely stitched and beautiful feel to it. I really like the way the red contrasts the silver (a classic automotive combo IMO). Here is a cell phone pic for now, better ones to come later. The flash has washed out the red a bit, it is more rich and saturated in color in person.
Before:

Install wasnt bad. Attaching it to the plastic frame was by far the longest part of the process. Also make sure you do up the lock nut on the bottom tight, or else when you go for reverse you'll pull the whole deal right off!
What do you guys think?
