Custom Shift Boots

I can get a custom shift boot made from the same Alcantara fabric as the OEM IX Recaro's stiched in either black or red to match the SE seats . Is there any interest for a GB or something? I think this would be a great subtle touch to the interior that would bring it all together nicely and replace the ugly mistu pleather crap. I've seen matching alcantara shift boots in person and it's very nice.

The target price for this would be about $100 or less.

Here is where I got the idea

http://www.autospeedperformance.com/

Go to Audi, then B5 S4, then Alcantara shift boot. It won't hotlink.

This will be the company that will produce this for us. They need a minimum number of orders, but they can be made for us to our spec for pretty cheap. I've seen the S4 ones in person and they are perfect. If the first run turns out good, we can get more made. Whos in?

Tentative List:
1. JordanS4
2. ries?
3. 06RS
4. Bigl4201

Well the S4 one is $89 so I don't forsee it being too much more. If anyone has a spare boot we can send in for the model will get a discount as well.

I would definitely like to buy one.

Is this something that AutoSpeed doesn't currently manufacture? Do you need a certain number of people to get a discounted price, or to have them produce a batch for EVO's?

ASP does not currently make an Evo shift boot, but they produce the S4 ones in-house and in order to make an evo one we just need to send them an OEM one to make the model and they will provide the labor, alcantara, stitching, etc.. and deliver it to us.
