There's a group buy going on on another forum. It's for MAZDA 3 shift boot source - RedlineGoods shift boots leather products. A couple of members here have their product. They make leather armrests , ebrake and shift boot covers. I've wanted them for a while but the price was hard to justify. Well they've discounted their prices on their website and will also give another 20% off for the group buy. This makes the price really reasonable. Group buy link: GI: Redline goods
I'm going to order the armrest and ebrake covers in the same colors shown in the pics. I hate the way my armrest always gets white from leaning on it!
Edit: Even if the group buy doesn't materialize the price on their website is still a good deal!
The stock boot isn't leather, not even certain if the armrest is leather; feels much thinner and pliable than leather, especially compared to the seats.
Just saw this earlier today and saw your name on there Warlord. I wanna jump on this but don't know what the final height of my shifter will be. You think I could get the stock height shift boot and trim it later if needed?
I was thinking black w/silver stitching to match the silver in the car. But I'm wondering if the silver would get dirty since I'll be leaning on it all the time. Hmmm, decisions!
Another option is to get black stitching with silver leather stripes.........but I think that would look way better if all 3 matched and u covered the 2 red/black panels on both sides of the dash with silver decals. I guess it's down to how much you wanna spend
No clue. I have an auto. I'm just gonna order the armrest and ebrake boot. Hey, check out my post over on M3F about the rear koni yellows. You'll have yours soon. I'm glad I discovered the problem and fixed it. If I had someone else do the install I'd probably be unaware there is a potential safety issue.
I ordered black with red stitching and light gray leather stripes......should match the interior and exterior of my car. They're probably gonna take forever to ship though....lots of items in that group buy.
Looks great. You were the one that I was refering to when I said some people on this forum had Redline goods and liked them. That's why I jumped on this group buy when it came up. I'm pretty stoked, can't wiat to get them!
Did you get the shift boot to be normal size or have a size reduction? I am deciding between the A6 leopard and one of the Type R knobs: how close to feel (shape only) and size would you say the big type r is to stock? Do the feel any vagueness from the shift gates with such a heavy knob?
Lastly, TWM says you can adjust the height of the shifter by 1.5 inches with just the knob. Did you keep it at stock height? If so how much do you think you would be able to lower it by?
I'm stuck between just getting a stock height boot, but kind of want to lower the height with a knob.
Thanks!
