    Has anyone used the shift and e-brake boots from Ebay?




    Have any of you used these?

    Are they good quality? The price seems low, I'm afraid it will be cheap and cheesy.

      Price is low because they don't come 100% ready for install, you'll need to glue them to your factory plastic/metal trim. At that price it's worth a shot.

        The ones I have seen are pretty good but I do think there are more than one "brand" available on the eBay.

            I checked, the ones I have seen are the same ones your looking at there.

            They are like I said pretty good (I'd say pretty damn good for that price) They look and feel like fairly high quality glove leather.

              Good company and great product. Thats who I got mine from (several sets) and you do have to glue them to your old frames. But thats easy as hell to do...

                Any pics of what they look like in your car?

                I don't want cheesy boots.

                    I have them installed and can a pic tomorrow. I am very pleased with mine. Easy install and no glue. I wonder if I lucked out not needing to glue anything.

                    As I recall, company was easy to work with and no problems.

                    Do it!

                      This is the best picture if have of them as of now...





                      Seems like I recall the shift boot not needing to be glued but the E-brake boot does need to be glued to the oem metal rubber boot frame...

                      They are genuine leather as well!

                          if they are from taiwan, dont get them. Thier template is wrong and it doesn't fit too well, esp the ebrake boot.

                          some people on ebay are okay.

                              I'd personally just custom order something through Rscheiring. I ordered my shift boot and ebrake boot from him with m color stitching and they were still a very reasonable price. Quality was very good, and plus you're supporting a board member.
