They claim they can match just about any color if it's not on their list.

 

they also say they will make a boot for free is you car is not on there. So do you think you have to prove what kind of car you have or could i say i had a slk 320 and get a free one.

 

I'm getting a Double DIN installed and getting the plastic silver parts covered in brushed aluminum with chrome trim. I'm reupholstering a few parts and getting custom stitching. It will be a while though, maybe three-four months.

But that would not be right, right?

 

Ya it would be kinda like stealing. Im not that type of kid so I guess is 42 dollars for what I want. Plus 46 for the shifter. wow this is a expensive trick.

 

Yep, it never ends....

 

Thanks Beaner for posting the link.....just what I had been looking for to go along with my Carbon Fiber and Chrome shifter,,,,just ordered the dark gray leather boot to match the seat with light gray stitching
Now for the important stuff ......where can I get a set of those to hang from my mirror

 

That set-up will look sweet JM....

 

they dont have the boot for my slk32 but while filling out the form they want the old boot to use a template and mine doesnt have one. so you need a boot if you want a free one

 

I will post pics of my shift boot and how it is attached tomorrow just to show everyone what I had to do.
If you want attention those "puppies" will bring you all the attention you could want. Once people realise those are not dice hanging from the mirror, let the party begin. Just ask some of the people from woodward who noticed them!

 

Hey, please do not try this. Me and Mike in orange were already recipients of free shift boots from these fine people. They do really good work and even for custom boots, they are under $50 - pretty cheap for hand made fine leather products. No need to lie and steal.

 

Hey not to be a jerk but did you read post #25 im not that type of kid. Also what did you do with the orginal boot? Would you be willing to sell it?

 

Since I had to ship mine in to them to use as a template, they disassembled it during the process and I never got it back. There may be other members who have their original boots, many have replaced with the shift style, just need to find the right one....

 

I took pics of mine a few minuets ago to show how to install a shift boot on an automatic.

- Remove shift *** and the plastic peices around the gear selection display


- Put the plastic trim piece in bottom of shift boot. Make sure it is centered how you want it and that be careful it is very brakeable


- Push the shift boot threw the center and set the shift *** inside


- Put the bottom cap on the shifter before you push the *** on. This is very important. be careful when pushing it on so that the cap does not get damaged


- Make sure there is material is all they around and able to get in the cap. If there is too much you will never be able to screw it on so what I had in the previous pic is good enough


- Put the car in neutral and jently push the ring down makeing sure there is just enough material tucked under to hide the edges.


- push it down tight and there you go. Put the car in park. Done


- The switch with the W and S is still useable, you can feel for it right threw the leather and switch it at any time.

 

Thanks for the instruction with pics Beaner. Very helpful.

 

Yea thanx Beaner......i should be receiving mine anyday now

 

Beaner, how do I make my 6 speed look like an auto?

 

LMAO.......

 

Do you think Beaner might be a little bit deprived................judging by those thingys hanging from his mirror. Great shift boot though!

 

What do you mean? Your 6 speed already looks just like my auto. I just have to figure out how to hide your clutch.

Thanks alot for this post, Evelyn was standing behind me when I was reading it and her exact words were "Deprived, well you are going to be now" then she walked away
