Redline good leather installed and center console upgrade!



Awesome product. Leather is excellent quality along with the stitching. I chose black leather with light grey stitching to match the steering wheel.

Shift boot was super easy to install, the arm rest took a little bit of effort to get on without any wrinkles, but totally worth it.

Really makes the interior pop, especially with the crap shift boot the GSR comes with

Here are some pictures I just snapped. I totally recommend them to anyone.

I am also showing off the center console upgrade , still need to get the shifter panel painted to match the other parts.


Went from this:

Thanks!

The leather parts were SUPER cheap for how much better they make your interior look!

I have been staring at that exact same setup for 3 months now... I think I'll pull the trigger on pay day.

It was indeed $88 shipped and they give you back $10 for sharing your installation pictures to people!

The shift boot requires no special tools at all, it does not need to be stapled as it is held in place by a white plastic piece that you will see underneath the shifter panel.

The arm rest does require a bit of work. I used a bunch of small clips (the kind you use to close chip bags with ) to slowly stretch the leather over the arm rest. Then you have to trim parts to let the leather stretch out in corners more. Once you have everything all nice and stretched to your liking, you need a staple gun. I went out and bought mine at sears for $10 with a pack of 1/4 inch staples. I put my leather right over the stock suede, no need to remove it.

Oh I forgot to mention the smell. mmmmmmmm Italian leather

Everyone who is waiting to purchase one of these don't, GET IT NOW.

Yes, sir! I just ordered mine. I got both boots and the arm rest!


Also, in case anyone tries to contact them. They are extremely friendly and helpful. I received an email back 10 minutes after I sent it from Maciek.

I have the shifter/handbrake combo from Redline. Definitely good stuff. Sometimes I wish I had gotten it completely black carbon fiber weave instead of black and blue.

I honestly didn't like the way the e-brake boot looked with the aluminum handle. Looked out of place IMO.
