+1, very nice shift boot - would like to see it in a picture that doesn't need 4 monitors to view though!

from everyones replies she is encouraged and is thinking about making a few extra available if there is enough interest.

so far interested are....

1.) bpsu07 (because he lives near me

)

Ah, MUCH better! Now we can see just how nice it is

Would it be possible for her to have (1) triple row of stitching on the side nearest the ashtray that is centered between the (2) runs of stitching on the other side, or (2) rows of triple stitching on ashtray side that mirror the (2) rows on the other side?

If so, I'd prolly give one a try

yeah she was originally planning on doing that

but i wanted to be little different but noticed it would be too busy with (2) of tripple stitching on each side of the ash tray so i didnt bother asking her.

just got back from the DFW meet and i got some comments on the boot.

one of the comment i got was making it look like the BMW performance boot with yellow stitchings. i have not heard of this until today and tried googling for it with no luck.

can anyone provide me here with a pic of this boot so i can try to make one like it.?

bpsu07 · 12-17-2010, 02:12 AM

I coulda sworn I saw one with yellow stitching....I guess the original one is with white stitching..(The BMW Performance for AutoTrans)

I think I'm having the thought of how BMW Perf. BBK, and Steering wheel have yellow accent..thats why. But hey, I wouldn't mind being the first, yellow stitching

Here's the original BMW Perf Auto Shift knob/boot..Just did a google search.

PS: You know what...If it was yellow boot..it wouldn't match the shift knob if I got the BMW Perf knob! LOL! I just noticed that...Hey if you can just make one like that one up there ^ black w/ white stitching x2, so it'll be more noticable I'm fine with that! Tell your wife THX x1000!
