Sorry, but I've got to say that their fit and finish looks pretty awful. Nice design on the parts. but all those wrinkles, folds, and whatnot would turn me off to their parts. I do like the looks of the tan and black shift boot, but it just looks like it doesn't fit properly.

In the end, if I'm going to spend $60 on an armrest cover, it sure as hell better fit perfectly, and not have folds and wrinkles like they do in the picture. Perhaps the parts they ship out are better, but those pictures scare me a bit.....

The shifter boot for the auto looks like some kid from nursery school made it. That is just pathetic looking IMO.

 

[lightblade]

lol. well i'll let you know how the arm rest cover turns out, it is flat so imnot worried about any wrinkles, i got the black leather with orange stitching, it think it will look good, i'' take some better quality pics of the cover when i get it, oh and you can specifiy where the shifter boot attaches usuing more or less wrinlkes, most of the shifter boots they have pictures they have are at the highest point with that retro leather boot look

My buddy had a 03 GT and he bought the shifter boot and a boot for the e-brake. Neither of the parts fit right at all. I know though, those parts are tricky and I'm hoping you dont have the same issues with your arm rest cover. That being said though, their stuff does look pretty damn nice.

 

[lightblade]

yeah we'll see how it fit, i'll keep yall posted when i get it

 

[lightblade]

Arm rest is in, Awesome quality fit perfect and looks sweet, black leather with orange stitching to match the paint

 

[gashog]

That's better than I thought it would look. If you got the seats to match that it would look awesome.

 

[lightblade]

thats what i'm considering right now, doing the orange stitching on the seats

 

[bigcat]

personally, i dont like the wrinkles on the sides.

 

[lightblade]

Well thats what leather does, wrinkles and cracks , yeah i smoothed that passenger side out already.

I think sometimes these days Mustang drivers try too hard to mod their cars, these parts make the car look really cheap and tacky imho.

 

[hottymustang]

I have one just like that with red stitching. It looks great IMO. It doesn't make the interior look tacky or anything, it just smoothes it out a bit. I also have their shift boot (manual) and it is way better than that stock 'pleather' one.

 

[lightblade]

yeah the stock shifter boot looks horrible, i think i'll get the shifter boot as well, and i agree it is a nice little touch to the interior of the car that smoothes it all out. And whats wrong with replacing cheap fake leather thats already in the car with the real thing?
BTW, hottymustang you have any pics of the shifter boot?

Looks nice.
With the mustang GT logo, right?

 

[ApexStang]

Definitely with the GT Logo. Don't see the point in adding the Shelby name to my car since it's not.

lightblade, you can take off the arm rest top cant you? i think there are just 4 screws holding the thing down. tighten those sides up. wrinkles= not as good.
