Just b/c u have leather shifter and ebrake boots does not make it a luxury car. It just adds that something else to make it that much more nice looking and that much more special. I don't know what his final prices are going to look like and I don't know if he wants me to share what I got mine for. Let's just say it is a real deal

Pics will be on here as soon as I get them b/c I am installing them asap. cann't wait, cann't wait!!

Node: I think that once he gets them going u will be able to buy them anytime.

I am not sure what the color options are. I will pm you his email address and you can ask him. It will not be until Wednesday b/c I got his email at work and, of course, I don't work until Wednesday. The quality is very good. I got black with black stitches and it is made very nicely. I would definitely get it if I had not already. They look really really good

I am just about to install the software on my computer in order to download the pics from my camera. Right afterwards I will have the pics b4 install and after install. Trust me guys, they look really nice

Once I get back to work I will post his direct email address so you can ask him what you will. All he has thus far is the boots for 3rd gens but he is working 2nd gen boots too. I am not too sure about 1st gens...

Talking

Hey guys,

I'm the person behind all this. Thanks to RX7eaven for posting these pics, saved me some advertising dollars...

For all of you interested, here's the scoop.

I've been making these leather boots for the 300ZX for over a year now and I've sold over 400 sets of them in various color options.

For the past few weeks I've been working on getting boots done for the RX-7.

Right now I can offer both 2nd gen later year models (89-92) and 3rd gen shifter and ebrake boots.

For the 2nd gen, together with Joakim Jorwall, a dedicated RX7 fan from Arkansas, we manufactured and ebrake boot for this car. As you know, the ebrake boot didn't exist on the 2nd gen. UNTIL NOW.

I'm currently working on getting 1st gen and early year models 2nd gen (86-89). I should be able to offer them commercially within a month or so.

All information about pricing, color options, delivery times, placing an order, customer references and more can be found on my website:

http://rx7boots.hypermart.net

I'd rather not post it here because I'd like to avoid direct advertising outside of the forums that are meant to contain it.

I'm working with admins of RX7 Club to become an official advertiser on this site.

For 89-92 and 93+ the boots can be purchased even today through the website. What's more, there's a SALE going on, you can get them at like 14-15% off retail.

Thank you very much for your interest in this product. I promise to you guys in public, that I will do everything to make everybody happy with the product and my customer service (please take the time to read customer references on my website - they basically address any doubts you may have about my business).

Have a great 2002 and may your Rex'es tear up on the asphalt!

Hey Researcher, I emailed you about payment for mine. I am not familiar with paypal. I would send you a personal check, though. Also, I want the e-brake boot too! Please post or mail to huklbery78@aol.com. Thanks, Adam

Will this leather fade in the sun? I bought a custom black leather shift boot for my MR2 and it looked great for about a month then it faded to a light brown color. The guy I bought it from said it would fade slightly but it faded a lot more than slightly.

I have no complaints about my leather fading. I also didn't observe anything like that on my own car, where I've had them on for something like 15 months.

The important thing is to take proper care of leather though. You need to apply leather conditioner/UV protectorant every few weeks.

It is my belief that if you keep them properly maintained they won't fade. And I have yet to be proven otherwise.
