Default New Shifter Boot....

Anyone know of a different type of shifter boot for the Automatic??

I don't like the boot on the Auto. at all, I can't find anyone who makes anything else for it though.

I would prefer no boot at all, but want something to cover up the stick, poking out, any ideas???

Thanks, but I'm really hoping for and looking for a bootless set up?

Anyone seen a bootless setup for an Automatic??

Redlinegoods.com sells shift boots for much cheaper than vette essentials with similar high quality leather. I purchased both the ebrake boot and shift boot from redline (both in black) and have been completely satisfied. However, some of the redline products are not exact matches for the corvette interior. So if you are interested in a basic black shift boot, go with redline and save some money. Otherwise, if you are looking for particular colors and are very concerned about an exact color match you may want to investigate or just go with vette essentials or caravaggio. good luck

sorry i dont have any info about the bootless setup

Yes, I am biased and partial. But, if they're not "exact matches for the corvette interior," then they're not the same quality as Vette Essentials.
