    Custom shift boot and hand brake boots, handles, etc.

    I'm a fairly new poster on this forum, but I've been on other forums for years. Since recently buying my first E30 and having a few friends who own E30's, I've decided to venture into selling some shift boots and ebrake boots, matching upholstered handles, etc. I have well over 100 happy customers from the past year alone.

    Anyway, there are lots of options on stitching colors and materials so people can dictate what they want for their car to make them unique. We have 50 or more colors of upholstery thread.
    Boots are $20 and up depending on what you want. Ebrake handles are $40 because they are such a PITA to make...but they sure look good.

    If you have some custom leather that you bought on eBay or somewhere and want boots made from it, that's not a problem. We like to do custom projects so long as you can send photos to us later on.

    Here are a couple samples of our work. I only have pictures of E36 and E46 pieces right now, but E30 pictures are coming soon.

      Thanks. The bottom set is now in the EuroTuner Project M3. I can't take all the credit for the work though. My wife sews for a living and is kind enough to spend her spare time making armrest covers and shift boots when she's not at work or school.

      I also need a better camera. I take all the pictures with a little Canon SD880is point and shoot and I have camera envy for a lot of the people on the forums. Someday I'll get a good camera and learn to use it properly.

        Those do look pretty great. Could you give us a ballpark on prices though? 20$ and up is pretty vegue. Also how much is it to do the ebrake handle like the last picture if we send you ours? Is 20$ for vinyl? leather? perf leather?

          We'll say;
          $20 for leather boots with one color stitching.
          $30 per boot for Motorsport tri-color stitching.
          $40 for the ebrake handle in leather with one color of stitching.

          Perforated leather inserts are no extra charge.
          Alcantara boots are $30 for the boot because the fabric cost is half the price. Motorsport stitching is done one color at a time and the center stitch is entirely done by hand. They are time consuming...that's for sure.

          I hope this gives a better idea of what we can do. Feel free to PM or email with any questions.

            Very nice! I'm thinking about going with new shift and ebrake boots soon, with red stitching to match my Nardi wheel. Is that something you guys can do?

                I think I could really, really use an e-brake handle and boot in black leather with perhaps M-Tech stitching... what would that run me roughly?
                Need a part? PM me.

                  We are all out of E30 ebrake handles to recover right now, but I'm working to get more.
