My shifter & e-brake boots!

Ok, as some of you know i got a MOMO e-brake handle for cheep and installed it with a homemade boot using the black mesh fabric used in our seats!!





Well i just finished up making my shifter boot and wrapping the shifter knob with the same fabric, and i think it came out great!!





Here is both !!



So tell me what do you think?

Sorry for not making a how too i always forget to take pics when i do things like this!
For the shift boot i just used the old one as a pattern and the knob cover is just wedged in like the leather was. if you take your shift knob off and pull out the plastic ring on the bottom the leather comes right off! and just make a new one and shove it back in place.

as for the material i got it from Rusmart auto upholstery shop locally it was $35 a yard but that was a year ago.

That looks really nice. I like how "factory" it looks since everything matches up so well, great job!

Great work there. Been thinking about how to fix the stock leather knob from peeling at the bottom and spinning around, this seems like an idea. Or Gorilla glue
