    Alright guys, need some opinions


    After reading up on here, I learned that the 3000gt shift boots fit our A/T transmitions well, so I want to get a shifter boot/ e brake boot combo.


    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Steal...Q5fAccessories

    Found that seller, they do custom colors on their items, they hand sew them.

    My question, is where I should get all white vinyl boots with grey stitching, or make half of the shift boot (the 2 triangles that are pointing away from the doors (so wat's red in that auction)) white, and make the other two (the ones that are black in the auction) carbon fiber? This would pull my white doors, soon to be white headliner, and my carbon fiber shifter bezel and radio bezel together really nicely, and the grey stitching would compliment the rest of my interior, which is grey.

    Or just go for something more simple and do it all white?

    IDK, need opinions.

    Interior

    Alright guys, as some of you have read, I'm redoing my interior with a new fabric. Headliner and doors.

    Here is the progress so far, will update tomorrow:




    And a bonus:

    My mom used some of the extra fabric and made a matching shifter boot for me :D




    I think it came out really nice. She is making me an ebrake boot to match, as soon as I get my new ebrake handle. I think it'll look good once it's all together :)

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    I dont think its that hard but I think you have to remove the pillars and the rear deck. I think but adam should let you know more specifically. We need to meet up sometime again and just spend a day working on whatever you guys need.

    It was very very simple, only took me 10 minutes. All of the pillar pieces are held in by pressure clips, so they just pop right off. Then all you do is remove the bolts holding on the seat belts, remove the screws holding the visors, pop out the dome lights and that's it, I removed everything and upholstered it in one afternoon.

    Steven, yea man we need to meet up and have a work day after you're done moving and showtime has a day off.

    I need to do the doors, and am waiting on my ebrake handle to arrive so we can make a matching ebrake boot :)

    I'll post more pics once it's all together

    its coming out really good. its gonna look even better when you get those doors done. good job!

    Thanks G-Ride

    So I found a pair of 3g seats, out of a 2003, black cloth (I wanted the grey cloth ones, but hinge on one of those was all messed up) talked to the guy, going to pick em up from the junkyard on monday, 80 bucks for the pair, he says no tears or damage (and I saw what they had there today, really nice stuff) the place is called LKQ, maybe they have them in other states too.

    So I'm still working on the interior, gonna throw the seats in monday, I'll get pics of that up too.
