**Custom Shift Boots!** - LotusTalk

MNlotus · 09-21-2009, 04:54 PM

My buddy is making me a custom shift boot for my elise for a great deal so i figured id spread the word. ill post pics of mine when i get it.
NO MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY!!!!
NOW MAKING ELISE, EXIGE, OR ANY MODEL CAR SHIFT BOOTS!!!
The stock shiftboot after time can be worn down and make the interior look really bad, if you're gonna replace the shift knob why not the shiftboot also?

I make shiftboots for many cars but for the G35 specifically I have either black or grey charcoal leather, black to match the 06 and up guys and charcoal to match the 03-04 guys but I can get any color leather or suede if requested. I can do any color stitching, the stitching is normally double stitched but I can do quadruple stitching if requested. Also for you AUTO guys I can make almost anything so PM me with any questions!!!

SEND me a Email including the style of boot you want, number of lines either 2 or 4, double or quadruple stitching, type of leather and any other requests you may have! I do custom boots with "piping", Two-Tone boots, M3 style stitching, and much more!

Most shift boots sell from $40 and up plus shipping and depending on the company most of them don't fit perfectly and need modification for it to work. The boots I make are pre fitted on my car first so I know they fit great.

Timeframe til you receive the shift boot after payment? 1-2 WEEKS or so
Prices may vary depending on the style and material you want...
All i need is you current shift boot sent to me

**To order or for any questions email me at yanyaniscool@hotmail.com**

-Few pix of the boot for the willow interiors
-BLACK SUEDE... the flash makes it look kind of weird, hard to take pix of black suede.

How about for the e-brake lever? That's what i want... to match stock regular shift boot would be fine.

apk919 · 09-21-2009, 05:35 PM

Interested... the Alcantara boot that I ordered from the Lotus Trim Shop is not wearing well...

MNlotus · 09-21-2009, 05:54 PM

yes he does do custom e brake levers as well

fitfan · 09-21-2009, 06:10 PM

how about both boots in a match for base cloth?

MNlotus · 09-21-2009, 06:29 PM

im sure he can get pretty close to the stock cloth if you just send him a few close up pics of it so he can get the material

Miata_mx5 · 09-21-2009, 07:21 PM

The boot on my R32 GT-R is worn out, can you make a black/black or red stitch replacement?

Would you need my original boot?

MNlotus · 09-21-2009, 07:29 PM

yes he does i think he might need your original boot. just email him all the details to about material, colors, etc

MNlotus · 09-22-2009, 06:30 PM

just got my shift boot and installed it!!!!!
the fit was absolutely perfect, and the stitching it perfect too. IMO everyone should get one with black suede and the quad stitch in green and yellow to match the lotus logo. it looks beautiful

madden · 09-22-2009, 06:41 PM

ho much was the boot?

MNlotus · 09-22-2009, 06:51 PM

since i was local and didnt have to pay for shipping mine was 25. i think he sells them for $30 shipped but it depends on the material that you want. give him an email and he will give you a price quote

apk919 · 09-22-2009, 07:26 PM

very nice... that's exactly what I'd get...

madden · 09-22-2009, 07:37 PM

awesome, i emailed him. I'm looking forward to getting one done.
how did you put the plastic ring back on that it attached to the stock boot?

sleepe · 09-22-2009, 07:37 PM

has it really come down to this?

MNlotus · 09-22-2009, 07:44 PM

the plastic ring is just glued to the leather, so he just glues it back on

So you have to send him your boot so he can glue the plastic piece to the leather, or should we expect to do that upon receipt of the boot?

WOW! My car has the red leather interior. Is it possible to find a matching red leather color for a shifter and e-brake boot, or should I not chance it?

Reds look terrible if the match is not pretty close. In your shoes, I'd ship him a door panel to work from. (Nice interior.)
