Lucky you, that's probably the last one.

Thanks to the forum for the part numbers!

I am thrilled!

Oh nice! Good thing C6_Prodigy started this thread and you were able to pick up the last ones before he got them.

You might have some luck stopping by or calling a dealership. They may be able to look up some dealer inventory to see if any dealerships have any sitting in stock somewhere rather than dealing with the parts warehouses. Worth a shot.

I called my local dealer, which is also the Corvette Club's sponsor dealership, and they did the full check but nothing came up.

That's a bummer. I hate hearing that we can no longer get certain oem parts for our cars. The other option is to order the leather pieces form somewhere like Redline Goods. The only thing is they wouldn't come with or attached to the plastic molding piece.

They use to have the oem shift **** with leather and matching red stitching also available. I'm not sure if they still have any more of those left.

Here's a parking brake boot with red stitch. I bought one from him about 2 months ago. Looks like he has one left.

Good, I feel better now!

Took some heat for getting the last GM one.

I have been on the lookout for you.

Thank you. It's not your fault but I was pretty bummed for a bit there. They are back in stock by GM but I was hesitant to post again until I got mine from my original Cultrag order. Definitely a much nicer leather than the stock shift boot in my 2LT 2011. Feels very much like the leather on my 2012-13 steering wheel.

Yes the boot is a perfect match to the 12-13 wheel and shift **** leather.

Great upgrade, love the stuff on my 08.

Assuming there isn't a red stitch and black leather for an automatic? Only company I've found that does it is redline. I need a boot and a leatherseats.com order to complete my black with red stitch transformation

That's awesome. Glad you finally got it. Much softer and nicer to the touch then the standard stock boot. It's not a thick premium leather, but good enough, especially considering the price is not bad and it comes ready to install.

For sure. Took 15 minutes to install, don't even have to take the console out. What took me the longest was getting the MGW base installed using the rubber o-rings that the stock chrome piece used.

I did not. One day I'd like to get the combo of the boot and lever but I'm saving up for go-fast parts now.
