Default Upgraded Leather Shifter Boots!

Wow. I'm so pleased i found RedlineGoods.com. I was super disappointed when i saw that Land Rover decided on a completely leather car to install vinyl boots on the ebrake and 4x4 controls. Mine as many i have seen were cracked and ugly when i recently bought my 2004 HSE. The car was in perfect condition except for these boots. I ordered both online and opted for just standard replacements. They will do custom stitching etc but i wanted the factory look. Took about a week a half to get the boots and did the install today. Below are the before and after pics. The install is super easy. I used a hot glue gun to reattach the new leather boots to the factory housing. Took about 30 mins including install etc. Hope this helps you all.

This is also before I switched out the wood for black rubber and heated seats.

And if I remember right, they sell for less then the factory replacements, unless you buy the custom made ones.

They are less price than the genuine, the genuine ones are insane. They come with the metal and plastic brackets though, which none of the aftermarket replacements do.
