Thumbs up New FEED shift boot

Have a look at this new FEED shift boot and e-brake combo (I think its a combo).

I think it looks even better than the Spirit-R set-up that I really like. My shift boot is so worn that it has big holes in it.


Anyone know of a site or shop in the US that is carrying this already?

Click Link here:

http://www.pac-gate.co.jp/feed/








Here's some other new FEED parts I found in the "OTHERS" section of that website:

To each his own, but I think CF (or CF look) anything in the interior of a car is extremely cheesy. There's nothing in the interior of the car you're actually gonna save weight w/ by making (and sometimes even wrapping!) in CF - short of a CF kevlar seat. ALL the ricers I know have CF this and that in their interiors (dash trim etc). Totally useless IMO. Def. not my style

Hmmm, I don't think it is meant to look like a carbon fiber thing. It is just a design that is similar to carbon weave.

It actually should have a stong wear property because of the cross-hatch pattern in it.

Well I don't think it looks bad, I just have this thing that makes me immediately reject CF-looking things in the interior lol. If you're feelin it, def. get it! And post back and let us know how much it runs! (My guess is it's DEF over $150, since it's made by FEED) haha

You should learn to read more carefully...I said on the interior. Those handles aren't actually MADE out of CF, they're overlays, which are going very well w/ my exterior black on CF theme

Point being, the CF handles are accenting the functional and weight-saving CF parts on the exterior (hood, canards, hatch, spoiler). What functional CF parts would you be accenting on the interior??

Don't start, blasphemy-bound Jim lol. I better see an "V8-7" and not "RX-7" emblem on your car when it's finished

On a side note, where ya been? I haven't seen a post of yours in a while...

I dont like the FEED boots... they remind me of ebay ones... purely opinion though. :/

I am on the RedlinGoods bandwagon, I ordered there in the past and as soon as I locate a MAzdaSPEED Miata wheel I will be ordering from them again, great product and great service.

So when CF pieces (functional or not) are on the exterior of a car it's a whole different story?

That's right, CF interior pieces are just "cheesy" accessories for you and your passenger to look at, while CF on your cars exterior are "cheesy" accessories for everyone to see.

If you having a problem coming up with the cash for a shift boot, you own the wrong car!

I don't know about everyone else, but when I say that I currently don't have the cash or need to come up with it, I don't literally mean that I can't afford it right now. Rather I have more important and pressing things to use money on, or I have trouble justifying spending money (be it $1000, or $100) on my car when I've already spent so much. Not to mention that the return investment on aftermarket parts is *always* negative. You atleast know that right???

Of course if it's something my car needs to run properly or something important like that then I don't mind spending the cash.

I don't see what's wrong w/ accentuating functional CF w/ a visually pleasing peice of CF here or there. But again, there's nothing functional CF on the interior, and hence nothing to accent in CF there either.

If my logic is convoluted, well it's my logic, and I like it
