Default Colored shift boots - any interest - oem perfect fit

Hi guys,

back in the day, i used to sell custom colored shift boots for 92-95 civic (later on 96-00 civics also). this was back in the college years maybe 2000-2003.

i just went through my closet and found a box of inventory. i was wondering if the civic owners these days have in interest in colored shift boots like some of the people back in the day. i dont really see myself making these again as it is a bit time consuming, unless there is lot of interest. but i do still have a box with assorted colored shift boots:

white
blue
yellow
red
didnt see black yet, but im sure i got some
grey ( for silver cars)

even more interesting i used to make extra large ones, so people with auto's can put a boot and make it look like a stick (im not kidding, it was pretty popular sale).

i just did a google search and this is a past customer with the grey shift boot for his silver car.

remember, these boots are exact oem size and installation is very simple, as easy as pumping gas.


O ya, i used to do 2 tone also, but that's custom work and i prob wont start on that yet.

to answer the obvious question, no you dont see the stitching on these, so no red on black shift boot or whatever color on color! The material is naughahyde, high quality vinyl they use in custom interior!

Let me know!

I'm not trying to sell them here, I'm gaging interest. i used to sell these back in the day and was trying to see the interest of these things now. i was one of the first to do this online, if not the first, and then a whole bunch of copycats came out with cheap material so i stopped.

i just checked ebay and no more people selling them, (as it's time intensive and doesn't sell for too much, used to be like $18-22 shipped).

Another user on h-t used to make them also, but like me he stopped looooong ago.

I'm just trying to see the public interest

This wouldn't be a bad idea if I needed a replacement but I love my authentic ITR boot. If camo was available I would be all over it though.
