I know this has been answered before, I'd just like to say this:

WE'LL MANUFACTURE ALL OF OUR BOOTS WITH STRIPS OF VELCRO ALONG ALL SIDES OF THE BOTTOM FLANGE SO THAT IT'S A NO-BRAINER TO ATTACH THEM.

As soon as we have the pictures and the install how-to, we will definitely put them up on the website, right away.

This sounds awesome! I'd love to get my hands on black leather with red stitching for my FB. Keep us posted on availability.

i've read all your posts in the 1st gen section in the last few months, and haven't heard anything about velcro being attached to the boots. mine certainly didn't come with any

i picked up some double sided tape, and im going to try my best to do the install tonight. good timing too, i just got a digital camera off a forum member here, so i'll be taking pics along the way

Nick,
He said "we'll manufacture" meaning they will do it.

I might be interested in black with grey stitching when I see some picks that don't look too cheesy.

makes sense to me now, oh, and david, you will like the boot, its really nice. not cheap like others i've seen, also, he made it exactly the same as the old rubber boot, with 4 sides to it, right down to the exact number of holes on each side to attach to the console. its obvious he put time into designing the boot, and didn't just throw it together.

what do you mean by cheesy pics? check out his website, there's a ton of nice looking installs there. give me a couple days, and you'll see mine installed. i got the black leather with yellow stitching for my yellow 85 gsl. my interior is grey. it looks really classy (at least i think so).

Nick,

I didn't think of it at the time, you never told me the tabs were broken and that you expect them to be on most cars. I've just came up with that idea.

Nick- did you read my post about the Velcro strips? You may find it a better solution than permanently affixing the boot with two-sided tape.

yes i did read your post about the velcro strips, and i decided to go with the tape because i feel that it would have a better hold, and since its what manntis uses, it must work. i do appreciate the time and effort you put into your instructions though.

i don't see why it would be a problem to clean out that area under the shifter surround even with the boot attached, as all you would have to do is un clip it, and still be able to fit a vacum hose in there anyways, seems like there's no need to remove the whole boot.

i for one, actually do read every post in any thread i start unlike sooo many people on this board. it pisses me off sometimes when people post some stupid response to something that has already been said.

Sorry- meant no ill will toward the comment. I've always had crud build up under that portion of the console and boot (I used to smoke) so I like to have the option of removing it. Actually- the hold is really, really good using the 3M velcro and a little bit of super hold (or glue). When you want to take off the boot, take off the console and boot, turn it upside down and slowly peel her off... (Kinda like the way I treat my wifes underw....uh- nevermind )
