I just received a nice package today, straight from Poland.

It was ordered the 6th, sent the 10th and today, the 12th, it already arrived :smile:

It's charcoal and silver stitching because my shiftknob is also dark grey (with silver), so it will probably match better than a black one. At first sight it's a bit lighter grey, but you can't expect a perfect match.
Too bad I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't install them 'til sunday. But as soon as they're installed, I'll post some pics.

The Redline booties are really nice,had them in my tC till the Sparco came part of the interior,and honestly the Sparco booties were a step down on quality to the REdline.

I have a Redline shift boot and e-brake boot as well, very nice quality. You'll love it!

I think I started this topic way too positive. Now that everything (finally) is installed, I'm a bit dissapointed in some things. The result is ok, but not 100% how I expected it.

When I ordered it, I could choose if the boot needs to be shorter or longer, and I've chosen normal size, since I don't have a short shift kit or anything.
This is the difference between the stock boot and a "normal size" redline boot

So it's a bit too big and I don't know why the stitchings at 1 side aren't all the way to the top?
I also had to cut 2 extra holes at the bottom, but that wasn't a real problem.
The handbrake boot didn't really fit and I had to cut more than half of the bottom stitches to make it fit that way.

Here's the result which, like I already said, is "ok"... (the color looks real light on 1 pic because of the flash but it's much darker in real. The other pics are without flash, so not that sharp)

**UPDATE**

I folded the top of the boot inside so the boot doesn't look too big anymore.

I ordered mine a few inches shorter (-2.5"), but I also cut my shifter -2.5" as well, so I can't speak to the sizing difference. And my stitching goes all the way up on all sides, so that must be a defect in yours. You may want to say something to Redline; they're definitely not cheap pieces.

My shit boot keeps pulling the plastic ring up, it clips in securely but always comes loose... its pretty annoying!
