Default SCION tC SHIFT BOOTS

i was going to add a shift boot to my A/T tc from the dealer, like someone previously posted a thread about...but i found a better place that has the same boot for my tc in a much better quality leather, they even specifically made it for me with silver stiching, i also got the ebrake boot, and later i am going to get the matching leather armrest..i recieved it today, and it totally blows away the dealer boot..they even provide a step by step photo and descriptive installation guide..now i have just got to get me a nice shift **** to go along with it..check it out heres their site:

the application itself looks good, but why do you want to make your automatic look like a 5-speed?

well if you havent installed a short shifter you should go with their regular height like i did...let me give you their exact quote from their site regarding this:


If you have installed a short shifter (AKA STS for Short Throw Shifter) in your car, you have probably noticed that using your stock-sized shift boot with the new shifter leaves a lot of excess material, which bunches up around the shift lever. By all means, that is not the look you want in your interior.
If you order a shift boot from us, we will be more than happy to customize it for you - well custom make a short shift boot to accomodate the new shifter.

****hope this helps*****

i have an A/T 07 tc, and i have not installed any kind of short shifter, so my shift bar size is standars...so going with your black regular height boot will be ok right..i also plan to get the OBX Speed Star Mesh Shift ****, which i believe will greatly inprove its overall appearance..dont you think so....also i cant seem to find any pictures of what the leather center armrest cover will look like, because i later plan to change my uggly factory interior material from the charcoal sides with the blue center sections to a much nicer, and better quality all black material, and would like to know if the leather center armrest will still go good along with this future material upgrade
