Is that the redline one, looks good.
No it's not a RedLine , i will give you full details on where to buy ,
and off who in a day or so .
The cost is a lot better than RedLine, approx half the price .
and thats what i paid as a one off custom job.
so if you are interested keep watching and think about color and thread color you want.

Awesome look man, lovin the leather. Just wondering, did you cut your shifter shorter? Or has it been that short since you got it?
1NZYaris1
03-13-2009, 10:47 PM
Okay guys sorry about the delay ,
still trying to confirm a price (hopefully around $28.00US ) , i paid $32.00US. inclusive of frieght .
I can also tell you for all those watching and interested all sales will go through MicroImage-Garm- cali yaris , as i am not a regestered Vendor on here ,
Also to help the south pacific sales IE frieght free i will be sending

:rolleyes: Rome was not built in a day, but just so everyone is informed , and
this is not an excuse, the person making these for us is doing his best ,
he is currently spending most day's in hospital with his mother , who
has just been diagnoised with cancer .
He has also said that he was hoping to have these in the post to me
today or Tommorrow,
As for the hand brake boot he has not even started on this yet , but
given the 6-8 week time frame i was given , i now understand why .
Please be Patient, and Kustom play i have ask him if the boots are still
there can he send yours at the same time , but as yet have not reiceved a reply to this request sorry.
One last thing to remember is i am doing this with the help of Garm and the last thing i want
to do is upset or piss anyone off including Garm . Cheers

As a side note, I'm currently trying to put a suede shift boot in my 09 LB, and the shifter trim ring is totally different from the ones pictured here. The material has to be a lot thinner to pass over the ring, then sandwich between the ring and the center console. The snaps on the ring itself are also much smaller, and fewer in number. Be warned!
I'll post pics if I can.
