pink or silver... doesn't matter as long as it it looks better than the old OEM one that some one was biting on it really hard.

It was actually meant to be sewn around the other way, the otehr side of the material is a lot more silver, but they did it wrong

You going to have them re-do it? I mean, after all... it was their mistake, no?

Wait a sec... hmmm if it is a lot more silvery on the other side... and the seams normally point to the inside. Is it possible you put the boot on inside out?

No because the actual stiching was inside so they did it the wrong way, maybe i wasnt clear enough with them or something......

Then I say you march your aussie butt on down there and explain how it was supposed to be and let them know they should listen closer in the future as to avoid costly mistakes such as that.

Then I would plainly ask them when they could have the correct boot finished.

As you may have guessed, Australians are far too lazy to complain about anything. So I think Chris will be keeping his boot stitched the way it is.

I am thinking of doing something like that is it hard to do. I saw it in the how to modifications section. I was just wondering wat people thought. Cus the orig looks so plain and boring.

I like it a lot, it will definitely look like a million bucks when the rest of your interior is silver.

Also, what kind of shift knob did you use? I like that style, and I also need one thats able to utilize the reverse lockout like yours. I've only been driving manual for a week!

Keep up the good work.

Proudy, it isnt hard to do, i thought it was, but there is just a lot of cutting involved. Thanks for the comments Bosian, i got this knob off ebay, im sure the guy has a few left if your interested just pm me or something.
