It looks like red cloth with black mesh around it. Personally I think it's hideous, but it's your car, and I don't know any of those musicians either.

Little too much rice in that hair net for me...
I used to be into that stuff, but I think the amount of rice I put into my car was traded in with my Hyundai Accent that I traded in for my last Civic... The one before this current one.

Who makes the boot? And what color is your car?

OMG POST UP PICS OF YOUR RICED OUT ACCENT!

I was just wondering what people did with Hyundai accents. They're even trying to market the new ones as sporty.

lol well hey I guess not everyone is going to like it but then again the pics dont do it any justice. The red fabric is suede and the top is like a plastic mesh. I thought it was cool. Def not rice hahaha, but I guess ppl just have to see it in person to see how cool it is.

I'd just stick with the red suede if it was me, the mesh makes it look like you just came off of shift at McDonalds and threw your hairnet on there or something. Red mesh is interesting though.

and to answer the questions above, the car color is black, and the interior is black with red stitching on the seats. All Si's are like that, I thought the stock one was making the car match a little but too much. So I went red on the actual boot. And the musicians are awsome lol. Just stuff from the 80's im into. The boot was custom made. I kinda came up with the idea and someone made it for me. I think it looks cool.

cool I guess I can make another. The original idea was to have the red suede with black sticking kinda like the opposite of the CTR boot. That was my aim, but then I had a picture in my head of mesh overlaying it and it looked good. But ill ask for another to be made with the red suede and black stiching.

Not my style, sorry. personally, I don't think it matchs the interior very well and I can see all kinds of things getting snagged in that mess.

But as long as you like it that is what is important.

Oh man I gotta be honest here.. first reaction to the pic was ''Why did this guy just shave his pub's and put them on his shift boot?"

It look hideous

I'm gonna be honest, I got a little scared when I scrolled down and saw that picture.

But, I like where you're going with the red theme. Definitely try one thats red with black stitching!
