Default Well, thought I'd make my shift boot like a CTR one. Pic inside.

Well, I got to thinking that I really liked the way CTR shift boots looked (black with red stitching) so I thought I'd give it a try. Call me cheap if you want, but I'm trying to save up for my b18 swap Anyways, all I did was take my black shift boot, and stitch the red thread into it. Eventually, I am making my whole interior black with red stitching. But what do you think of the finished product.?Thanks.

thanks for all the compliments. It's in my car and looks pretty darn good. I redid the left side and made the stitches smaller like on the right side. The red stitching is much brigher in person than it showed up on the pic. It only took me about an hour handstitching it, so with a machine, more power to ya. Thanks again though for the compliments, I'll post a pic of it when I get around to taking one.
