    OK, here is a prototype ebrake boot. I've put it next to the Alcantara shift boot - I'd be doing a similar boot but in leather. I thought that was the best stripe direction for the ebrake boot, as it follows the same as the shift boot, and is in the correct direction and order when observed from the driver's seat.

    Thoughts?

      PM me a price for the stripe shiftboot and an all black ebrake, please.

      I also want to reupholster 2 sets of sports. Could you PM a price to me on that too?

        I just saw you are in MA! At some point I want to do something with the interior of my car, perhaps you'd be a good person to contact? I also work for AVA Restoration in Dublin, NH so maybe you'd be a good person to send customers to for upholstry work, is that something you'd do?

        Thanks!

          The ebrake boot looks beautiful too, I'd be very interested to see what else you come up with!

              I really like the ebrake boot. Is there any way to flatten out the area where the stripes are so the areas where they are stiched together are not so apparent? It makes it look kinda bubly instead of nice tight and flat.

                Looks alittle over the top for me. I really like the black with M stitching though.

                        Those are bitchin! Let me know when you have pricing nailed down. I'd be up for both (maybe two pair if the price is right).

                              x2. What's the price like (suede and leather versions available)? I got e28 if that makes a difference.

                              Thanks.

                                Thanks one and all. Ultimately, the cost for either of the pieces with ///M stripes will be $5 more than without. So leather shift would go from $25 to $30, leather ebrake would go from $30 to $35, Alcantara shift from $30 to $35 and Alcantara ebrake from $35 to $40.

                                But for now, I'll hold the pricing the same as without the stripes. So leather shift with ///M would be $25 and ebrake $30. Less $5 R3V discount comes to just $50 for the set (includes shipping via regular mail).

                                Paypal is paypal@carartunlimited.com. Please be patient with orders - my usual one week turnaround is being stretched!

                                Cheers!
