Shift Boots - Want a free one?
 
Hi guys,

I've created a pattern for the Boxster shift boot, but the problem is I didn't get to snap photos of it before I had to return the car.

If anyone would like a free shift boot, all I would ask is for some quality photos in exchange.

My company offers a wide selection of materials and colors to choose from including Italian Leather, Alcantara, and Carbon Fiber Vinyl.

Here are some samples of our boots (from a BMW):

Thanks :)

I sure could go for a free new shift boot but i cant decide weather to have black leather with the white stitching or the seude looking material....

Alcantara is an awesome material in the Boxster (or any car for that matter).

Here are the color choices:

Let us know what you would like, and also let us know if you would be able to take some photos for us.

Thanks :)

How about you send me one black Alcantara boot and one black Italian Leather boot and ill take pictures of both installed. Also, i noticed that the Alcantara looking boot in the first image has perforated holes in it... are those availible?

How about we start with the Alcantara, and see how that goes.

Would you like to try black Alcantara with white stitching?

Please PM us with your full name and mailing address and we will get that out to you right away.

Thanks :)

CJ,

Post the pictures of the shift boot. I am thinking of doing this same mod.

Do these just fit over the existing boots?

Bob O 02-09-2008 12:55 PM

Sure!
 
How about a black leather one with tan stitching to match the seats (savanah beige). Or just all black would be good too. Mine is geting rather scuffed up and for the life of me can't figure out how, but it certainly need replacing. I'd be happy to take some pictures, before and after.

Simply take off the old boot, and replace with the new. It's very easy to do.

Here is a list of all of our color choices: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSCHE-BOXSTER-1996-2004-CUSTOM-LEATHER-SHIFT-BOOT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33703QQihZ015QQite mZ250204145509

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Bob,

We could definitely do a black Italian leather boot with tan stitch.

We can offer all 988forum members the price of $29.99 plus FREE shipping.

You can select any material, color, and stitching you would like.

Thank you :)

Bob O 02-11-2008 10:38 AM

ummmmmm what happened to the free offer? Your 29.99 price is the same as on ebay, not including shipping. Please don't make an offer of something for free and then come back and say...oh wait.. its really 29.99. If you're only offering ONE of these for free then you should say so in the orignal post. I think I'll wait.

Bob

Correction, It is not entirely that easy. The staples that hold the old boot onto the trim ring have to be removed to remove the old boot, then the new one has to be stapled back on... Not sure how im going to swing that but ill find a way.

Hi Bob,

We were looking for someone to do photos for us, and we found that person if you would please scroll to the bottom of this thread.

We just wanted to make the FREE shipping offer available to anyone else that wanted a boot.

Thanks :)

Do you have an Alcantara boot available for a 2001 Audi S4?

Why would you give someone hard time because they are not giving you their product for free? This is USA nothing is free you pay for it one way or another

lucky_topher 02-12-2008 03:57 PM

Actually, CJ_Boxster got his for free ;)

But anyone else interested, we would like to give a deal to.

How about $24.99 plus FREE shipping to the first 5 people!

blinkwatt 02-12-2008 10:18 PM

The thing I don't get is how anyone is planning on putting this boot on installed. From everything I've seen with any shift knob I've had is that the knob is integrated with the boot. I don't see how these can be used in conjunction with anything that's OEM.
