    Custom Leather E30 Shift and E Brake Boots

    Hey All,

    I have decided to start selling Shift and E Brake boots for our E30's. They are made from black genuine rough grain automotive-grade leather with a black polyester thread. They are meant to look good and be able to put up with the extreme temperatures the interior can see.

    I am keeping it simple right now with one design but depending on the reactions from everyone, I will start to roll out different designs, threads and fabrics.

    Here are pictures of Option 1 both installed





    Option 1 Uninstalled



    New Option 2 up for Sale with a single seam and a French Stitch



    The prices for them will be

    $35 Shipped Priority USPS for just the shift boot or just the E Brake Boot
    $60 Shipped Priority USPS for both Shift and E Brake Boot together.

    I can also ship internationally but please pm for international shipping prices.

    I have 5 sets ready to be shipped!

    Thanks for looking!

    Will the plastic mounting clip/brackets be attached to the boots?

      No, you will have to use your existing bezels and attach them yourself. I like to use DAP contact cement. It takes a little to set up but if you have a couple clamps, it makes for a clean install. It also peels off pretty easily as well not leaving to much residue.

                              Shipping was fast. My only reference for shift boot quality was the original shift boot that was dried and worn. The leather is soft and has good color. It blends in with the interior and looks great. I was disappointed that I had to tie it down with a zip tie, then again I don't know how anyone else does it. The stitching isn't very tight, I could see through the seams as i glued it to the bezel. I can't see through it now that it's installed, but the stitching looks stretched near the shift knob. The boot is also short tugging on the plastic frame that clips on the center console. This tugging strains the center console creating a plastic creak sound. This irks me. If the boot was an inch or two longer, there would be more play in the leather preventing the strain. I give it a 2/5 for the tugging.
