GT500 style shift boot for under $20! BRAND NEW!

[silverhorseGT06]

Hey guys.

I've been wanting a black shift boot with red stitching forever but never wanted to spend the money they wanted for them! But through some research and creative thinking, I found a pretty good deal online and thought I would share my process. If you do a search on ebay for a Saleen Shift Boot with white stitching, you should come across a brand new in the box shift boot, ready to snap in, for no more than $17.25 with free shipping. Then pick up a red dye marker for about $2 from Hobby Lobby or your local craft store and carefully color the threads with the dye marker (dye pretty much wipes off the leather material, so it's really hard to screw it up, but the less dye on the black, the better). I went over them once and then again just to make sure the color saturated well. So easy! Took less than 10 minutes and I have a beautiful brand new Shelby boot with red stitching (cheapest I've found on ebay was $65 plus about $8 shipping)! Attached a few pic's to show the Saleen boot, the marker I used and the finished product! Hope some of you can take advantage of this and let me know how it works out if you do!

Happy Holidays!

Nice job on the shift boot, but I really dig your wheels. Are they still available? I believe this is the same wheel on cruizinconcepts, but they are showing Out of Stock. Are they available anywhere else?

Thanks. Last I heard, they are not making them at this time (haven't for almost two years now). You might find some leftover 20's out there, but the 18's are gone! I found the last two 18x10's in existence when I needed a replacement wheel, just by luck, vendor had two from an order that never went out sitting on a shelf. thought I was going to have to go with a completely different setup just because I needed one wheel and couldn't find a replacement. Sorry man. Cruizinconcepts is where I bought mine, BTW!

Are the shift boots interchangeable between 05-10 and 11+ ?

Not sure. don't think so, but maybe someone else knows the answer for sure.

05-09 are the same, they changed consoles/shifters in 10. but there are a few different options for 05-09, uip, bullit shifter ect. hey nto had 2010 shifter boots for $20.

that does look nice dark knight
