JPM Coachworks Leather Shift and Brake Boots


Today at last I was able to correct what I perceived as a nagging deficiency in my FR-S interior. I replaced the paper thin OEM vinyl shift and brake boots with perforated leather models from JPM Coachworks.

JPM is local to me here in metro Atlanta, so I asked them if I could drive over and pick up the boots and have them installed. Joe and Alex graciously gave me the nickle tour of the JPM shop and showed me some of the products they are making for the twins as well as some of their Alcantara designs for the Imprezas. It was great to meet the folks at JPM and I was glad to be able to purchase products for my FR-S from a local shop and support them.

Alex got the boots installed in minutes. They both fit, look, and smell perfect! The black perforated leather with red stitching really lends a classic/classy look to a very modern car.

Now, what am I going to do about that cheap looking plastic reverse lockout?

Modifying/personalizing your car is truly a disease.

Many thanks to Joe and Alex of JPM. It was great getting to meet you guys.

Looks awesome! Looks like I need to snag a BRZ Limited (Sport Tech) e-brake handle, they look like they all have the red stitching on the handle too.
