Do these just fit over the existing boots?

Bob O · 02-09-2008, 12:55 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

Can I get my S4 boot in on this deal?

Also do you think you have a color that would match the Alcantara on my interior? I think it is described as almost a silver...

Why? Because he offered them for free, then changed the offer after I emailed him. Free? He said he wanted some pictures, which I offered to take. I wasn't expecting anything for free... a trade, with terms set by him was all. I own five companies and am fully aware of the economics of doing business in this wonderful country. If there was only one boot available, the "ad" should have said so.

gmboxster · 02-13-2008, 03:11 PM

I agree with Bob O completely. The original post was 'get a free shift boot in exchange for some photos of it'. No mention of limited to one person. The original post was deceptive IMO. I think that is all Bob is saying ( Bob O, I hope I'm not putting words in your mouth ). All of a sudden, Boom, $29.99. Be honest up front. Just my 2 cents.

Hello Bob,

We sincerely apologize if our original posting was at all misleading. We didn't expect it would be this easy to attract someone, and we thought when we finally did, we could offer that person a free boot.

Next time, we will certainly be more clear about this.

We only mentioned the price afterward, as it seemed other were interested.

Again, we do apologize for any confusion here.

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:

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.
