Default New shiftboot installed (Thank you Corvette Mods!)

I've been wanting this simple pattern for my shift boot for a while (I was never a fan of the 2-tones) so I reached out to forum vendor Corvette Mods. They told me they could do it with no problem. 1 week later it is sitting pretty in my car. The color match is GREAT (both the black and red - my vette is Torch Red). Now I just need to find a modded c6 **** with red stitching...hmmmm..

I picked up the **** from a member on another forum. He originally purchased it from GS Creations. It screwed right on to my B&M shifter

Did you call them to order this? I do not see a stitch color option for the boot on their website.
