damn that looks awesome. how much of a discount did they give you for providing your oem boot? so mad that I was late on the offer. I'll probably place an order from them in the near future.

 

So far this is one sick looking build, got one question though. the 'ammo' plate hanger, how secure/solid is it, and it is one of the standard aftermarket ones, or your own creation?

 

^^that should answer your question

 

^ Haha, thanks ImaKing88!

@donsun: I had to put deposit until I finish the installation manual, but you probably don't want to know the end price. And I will do a full review once I'm done with the installation manual.

@ Scratch: Thanks for the compliment and yes, the brackets are very secure. I took them off recently because I don't like having a front plate and Florida doesn't require it, but the brackets are great.

 

lookin good... looking good

 

hey mightyp, when you ordered your shift boot, did you get it the same size as stock? Jus wondering cuz I'm thinking of ordering it slightly shorter because I'd rather have the boot not crunch up so much.

 

Yeah, it's the same size as stock and you could definitely go a little shorter. If you want some measurements/pictures of the boot pulled up a little, just let me know.

 

That boot and shift **** looks superclean, like it belongs that way. I just do not like the feel of round shifters, never have. Looks awesome though, wish I had not looked in your thread now...

 

yeah, i was thinking about asking redline goods about what's a good amount to shorten it by, but if you could possibly raise it 1" and take a picture, that'd be really helpful, or if you don't mind, raise it as high as you can without restricting shifter movement and get that measurement. if you could do either that'd be awesome! take your time with that request since I still havn't decided what color combo to go with since I'm not sure what color scheme I want to do on my car. Sorta wavering between Red vs Blue since I figure if I get around to doing a led gauge swap, it'll be blue, but TRD parts are red... Might just settle for a perforated black/white stripe set...

 

No problem. I'll mess around with it a bit when I get some time. And I hear ya on colors. I'm going red accents on the outside (red brake calipers, red neon on order) but I'm going blue/white on the inside. I'm keeping my Alpine deck, so I that really limits me to either blue or orange, if I want the deck to match.

 

Make sure you put that red underglow on a toggle switch... Wouldn't want to pass through the good state of Ga and get pulled over for cop impersonation... I think they look for reasons to write frivolous tickets in this time of recession.

 

^ Definitely! I'm not really a fan of driving around with under glow on no matter what the color. I got a good deal on it and thought it'd be a nice touch for events, but it won't be something I'll have on just cruising around town.

 

I got my leather shift boots in about a week ago and am just now getting around to the review.

Pros: It's real leather! The 2-tone color really makes the boots look sharp. The armrest cover gets rid of the cheap plastic look of stock.

Cons: When the boots shipped, I got an email saying they would arrive in 6-10 days. It took 12 days. Okay, I know this is really minor stuff, but I couldn't think of any other "cons"!

Review: At first, I was a little skeptical working with a company without any offices in the USA, but I would gladly do business with Redline Goods again! There are a few things I use to judge a company by. The quality of their product, whether they do what they say they'll do, and how quickly they refund your money (if applicable). Redline Goods did great with all 3 criteria. The leather products are top-notch! (I'll get into that more later) They designed and delivered the boots, just like they promised. And the deposit they asked me to put down, they refunded within a day of me completing my end of the deal. That last one is a huge indicator for me. They could have easily taken a few days to get me my deposit back, but they didn't, so good on you!

Okay, so on to what you really want to know about, the leather boots! It's most definitely genuine leather. For days, my car smelled like a fine leather jacket. And that's really the best way to describe the feel of the leather. It's soft, supple, and is definitely great quality. The stitching is just as good. It's precise, clean and appears very durable. They obviously took their time to ensure each thread is in it's place and no stray threads left the building.

The installation is super easy. You remove 4-6 screws from the center console to install cover, and just snap out parts to install the leather boots on the other two items. E-brake boot only fits one way, so that' easy. Shift boot is easy to know which way to go as RGs cut out notches in the boot just like the stock boot has. They say you can use glue, but I would recommend staples. Simple home-use staples are what I used and they work just fine.

In summary, I love my shift boots. They look and feel great and just like the LED dome lights and TWM shift ****, the boots add a feeling of class to the interior of the car. Whether you're going to put your ride in a show or just enjoy having a sharp looking car, I would recommend the their boots.

 

Definitely a good accent piece. I like the "racing stripe" contrast...

 

Looks good dude!!

 

I really like the 2 tone you picked. Looks really clean and classy! Love it!

 

Scikotics Chapter went to the drag strip tonight! I'm in the closer car racing another guy from the chapter in his tC2. This was my best run of the night at 10.55 sec 1/8 mile at 67 mph.

Trunk Light Before & After:



What's the led part number that u used?

 

i was hoping these puppies would be quicker. my truck i ran the 1/8 mile in 10.52. granted it was a reg cab v8 with headers/exhaust/intake/tune. but still.


and lovin those boots! they look sharp

 

^ Thanks, goose!

And I can probably shave another couple 1/10s of a sec off with more practice. This was my first time down a drag strip. Once I get the shift points down a little better and improve my launch, it'll go faster. The video was my 4th of 4 runs and each run had been faster than the previous. First 3 runs were all around 10.9. One other thing to keep in mind, I left my car exactly the way I drive it each day. Regular gas, crap in the back seat, etc.
