Default Has anyone ordered this...?

I really want a new shift boot, i like the one from vette essentials... but the $$ is just wayyyyy to much for what i can justify spending on a little piece of leather.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33703

their website, www.augerresources.com has them for $29.99 also...but not sure on shipping $$

this one on ebay looks pretty nice... anyone have it?

Im wondering if the red leather will match the torch red, or resemble is somewhat...

Before I bought that one from ebay I'd go to a proven source like Mid America.

But honestly, If I were buying one today I would give Redline Goods a try. The forum feedback has been good and from what I've seen the customer service is right up there as well.

The quality of their leather is about the only one I've read that rivals VE stuff. Granted, I don't own their stuff, but I would go here first.

I echo the Redline Goods recommendation. I have their shift boot and e-brake boot. I suspect the quality of the VE products are better, but the price differential is HUGE! If I wanted the best no matter what the price, I'd get VE. If I wanted pretty darn good for terrific price, Redline is it.

Sometimes you get what you pay for. If you don't want to spend the cash for VE products, try the Redline stuff. I hear they are very good.
