redlinegoods shift boot and ebrake boot - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Figured id be the guinea pig and take a shot on the redlinegoods boots. I had them custom ordered in solid black real italian leather with a solid red leather stripe up the middle and red stitching. They were $100 shipped for both so i figured it was worth giving a try. They arrived today and look beautiful. The shift boot has the holes cut at the bottom which should hopefully be lined up with the tabs on the bezel for a quick installation. The ebrake boot i'll have to do some work on and pull apart the original/glue the new one down but it looks damn nice and matches perfect. Arrived here in NY from Poland approximately 2 weeks after ordering. Not bad at all.

Looks good. Hurry and install em so we can get a full review!

shift boot should be easy enough to get on tomorrow afternoon as long as everything lines up and fits properly. i'm gonna swap my oem red stitch ebrake boot with @mezdup and take his plain black one since i'll just be ripping the fabric off the plastic anyway but hopefully that'll be done within the week or so.

Just installed the shift boot. Pictures are up on the first post. The fit is perfect and looks beautiful. Clips right on to the stock hooks as shown with a nice tight fit so it doesn't move around. the top where it slides over the reverse lockout has 2 small notches cut in the back side to it can slip over yet still remains snug and in place. Its slightly more bunched up at the bottom than stock but it's also real leather so it'll probably settle down and sink in a bit over time but it's not too bunched up that it gets in the way of shifting or anything. I'll see how it holds up as far as stretching and whatnot over time but as of now i think it was well worth the $50 shipped. Ebrake boot should hopefully be ready to go by the weekend

im loving that dash cover

Damn, they turned out a lot better than I thought, not bad at all even if the red stripe may be a bit too much for me.

Will you be ordering the dash pad as well?

I just asked them about the dash pad and apparently its just the material cut to the exact shape and u have to use adhesive to put it on the stock parts but since these came out so nice i might give it a shot. Might skip the stripe though since they say itll probably just go across the middle of the right dash piece

Sounds like a good choice!
Are you getting solid leather for the dash as well? I am getting sick of seeing alcantara for some reason.

Probably solid black with just the red stitching. I was originally thinking perforated so the silver from the stock trim would show through the holes but then i was thinking depending where the adhesive needs to be applied, it might seep through and look bad.

is the brz/frs stiched onto the dash pad?

chadstyle · 04-17-2013, 03:21 PM

Love the shift boot...when are you installing the e brake boot? For $100, its a steal!! Thanks for the pics, can't wait to see more.

abutterman · 04-17-2013, 03:32 PM

should have the ebrake boot installed maybe friday evening or sometime this weekend. the stitching and stripe matches great and it looks to be cut properly as far as i can tell. i don't see there being any issues with it. I'll just have to make a template or something with the original one so i knot where to fold the edges over

abutterman · 04-17-2013, 04:30 PM

anyone know if this [ame="http://www.amazon.com/3M-03609-Scotch-Mount-Molding-Tape/dp/B000BO913C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366230514&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+automotive+tape"]3M 03609 Scotch-Mount 1/2" x 5' Molding Tape : Amazon.com : Automotive[/ame] will hold leather down to plastic? It would have to stick well to the suede backing. I already have some industrial strength adhesive but if this would work, it might make for a cleaner and more easily reversible installation
