Just got done installing Redline Shift, Ebrake boots, console cover and Ebrake handle of perforated black leather and white piping. Instructions were fine, job came out great. Just hope it isn't too subtle.
My only suggestion is for the console cover. To make it fit like OEM, I used contact cement to pull out some 'soft' wrinkles before I reinstalled the underneath part. Maciek was a pleasure to work with and answered questions promptly as well.!

I had a boot for the shifter and E-brake handles, like you say, Maciek is true gentlemen in every sense of the word if he says he can do it, he right on time wiht the product. I got a Terra and Tarnish boot covers or boot and I have a 50th RPO 1SC Anniversary coupe and the interior upper range in a kinda of- color / brownish and the seats and door cards in the lower section are in a "shale" which it is impossible to match, so since the console is made out of the cray or brownish plastic and I got the samples I was totally confused as to what to pick, after leaving the samples you like on the console for a few days you can either get used to them or pink anew.

I pick a combo of Terra and a dark Tarnish and in quadruple stitching done and I used black for the Tarnish side and silver on the Terra side. And once installed, it came out really,really good. It's options you do have and blend in so well most people either ignore them of the comment on them I Cyberdine graphics on my door sills and dash letters and of course the steering wheel emblem. They k]look so natural most people comment of or with a "Did it come from the factory like this"

I took my center console cover from Redline to an apholstery shop and they stapled it on like the factory one and did not charge me anything for it, after that I installed the bottom cover on it.
