Thanks Bill, Alex also did a custom e-brake boot as well to match with everything else! The quality is the best I have seen so far, and also, you don't have to install or glue anything together, Alex does it all for you! That makes it also worth it in my book, I helped Steve with his Redline Goods and man what a PITA that was.

Thanks guys!

Vroom293 - Yah, what are you getting done exactly? I got the arm rest done, basically took it off and sent that in. Alex in return put a nice padding on it, then wrapped it up with the matching stiching running down the sides. As far as the e-brake boot, just take it off the car, and send in the entire e-brake boot with the plastic surriound, Alex will take care of the rest. Same goes for the shift boot. Once Alex is done, he will ship them back to you, and you just put them back on as if they came like a kit, no glue is required! Thats the best part.

What we ask of all customers is that they just detach their shift boot, e-brake boot or armrest lid from their console and drop it in the mail. We use the industry standard adhesive to attach your new pieces to your OEM bases. This process ensures several things:

1) Easy Installation: That when the customer receives their new products that their installation is 100% hassle-free and that each piece fits as it should -- like stock
2) Product Consistency: Each piece leaves our shop the way we intended it to and the way you paid for it to.
3) Product Longevity & Warranty: We warrant our workmanship / craftsmanship. Period. If you ever experience a problem with one of our products we will happily work with you to resolve the issue either by replacement, substitute or refund. Our goal is simple -- To deliver the highest quality products available utilizing the highest quality materials available. We use the highest quality materials and components out there. Sure the cost is a little higher, but in the end you are receiving the real-deal. It is your hard earned money that goes into these products, and you all simply deserve the best. We take pride in offering this type of value to our customers.

^Yup, and you forgot to include that the threading is UV protected to last even longer without fade, and the leather comes from lil Italian ladies in Italy!!!

Yes sir! They're all super models of course who gave up their lives of fame and glory to produce some of the finest leather hides around.

Another point of interest about our leather is that it is "green". They are processed using low emission mineral tanning formulas which are environmentally friendly. They are retanned in aged oak drums utilizing vegetable agents, natural fat liquors and oils along with dyes that ensure the leather is properly through dyed. No PCP or CFC is used! Waterbased finishes are applied to provide an even coloration and protection to the leather.

The arm rest has Italian Leather and UV protected threading, and to add some nice comfort creatures......Alex put in the padding on the arm rest to make it soooo much better than stock!!! This is how it should came from the factory!
Just amazing work.
