Weird request, and i pray you read this. I am trying to take on the same project with some other leathery(ish) material i have, but without seam-ripping my current boot. Would you be able to accurately describe the sewing template/patch sizes of the blackandblue boot so i can cut them out? Above and beyond would be sending a photo of them layed out like you had with rulers on X and Y axis so i can copy your process. Any help is appreciated! Product looks great, reminds me of my old gti

I can't respond on here with a picture, but if you message me on any of the other platforms I can get a picture later when I'm in the shop.

Looks good. I wondered if maybe the "top" section was going to fall a bit short of the shifter ball since the console was not fully seated/installed during the test fit. My hands are somewhat large so having the shifter boot top lower than the shifter ball would work fine for me. I may try to do this with my Mustang's shifter boot.

It was shorter than I expected, but fit OK when I tested it. I have since made another one out of black vinyl and Tartan piping at the seams. The new one is taller and sits just below the nut on the shaft.
