Ebay ( or other ) Shift boots, anyone try?

My boots getting worn out, has anyone actually used one of the $20 Ebay ones? Is there a better quality source or are they ok? Thanks.

If I recall, someone got one a few months ago and said that it was actually pretty good quality.

I think they said the stitching wasn't very straight though.

X2 a bit of trimming and it worked out, i think salvagebalt was the guy

I got a redlinegoods one and i love it. Pricey but worth it for the quality and customability.

The camera lighting makes the shade look off, but really this bride fabric is a great match with the rest of my interior. Matches the fabric on the seats decently

Salvaged is the one who bought an eBay boot. I think he did a review on it.

Nice boot. If I can't find a good one in a junk yard, I will go that route.

That must be where I saw it. I'd do it but then I'd have to buy some crown and I'm not much of a liquor drinker.

Yeah, it does. I don't mind waiting for car parts at all.
