Interior/Exterior Sponsor Product Review - Redline Goods Shift & Brake Boots
#1
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this, but I just wanted to give kudos to the newest NorthAmericanMotoring.com sponsor - Redline Goods. I just received and installed their shift and brake boots and I am very impressed by the quality of both. I received the package within about a week and was immediately impressed by the wonderful bitter smell of Italian leather as I opened the envelope. The look and feel were no disappointment either. Both were simple to install and took about a half hour total. I did have to trim both boots slightly with a pair of scissors in order to obtain a better fit. The only complaint that I had was that they did not come with instructions, although applicable instructions were easy to download from another sponsor’s website (no names here, but I will say that it grows on trees). I also had to use some 3M Weather-Strip Adhesive, which is available at any auto parts store, and two zip ties were also necessary to complete the installation. The boots look great in my MINI and add at least 10 horsepower. OK, I lied on that one - but at least it makes the interior LOOK like it should have more power!

OK, I take back what I said - the company DOES have instructions on their website, they just don't come with the package. Maybe this is a good environmental policy since not everybody needs to have a printed copy.

I give this product and company a 10 out of 10.

>>I'm next in line. Got mine on Saturday and installed it that afternoon. Just in case anyone is interested, the graphite is a dead on match for the standard interior trim. I got the graphite with yellow stitching, looks great.
Hey GT6, do you have one or just a fan? Long, long ago I was looking at a 71 GT6 MkIII (maroon, but would have looked SO good in black). Dealer went under before I could buy it, and haven't seen another since. Its just another of those cars that I have to have before I die. :smile:

>>I ordered the black with hunter green stitching, very sharp is a nice look for anyone who has a BRG with the black panther leather interior. As already noted the material is very thick and the workmanship is super on the boots. Shipping was also quick. Good job Redline.
you have a picture of this? i have hunter green / black floor mats in my panther black interior and your combo sounds perfect.
thanks

I'm really sorry about this, but we ALWAYS respond to ALL emails within 1 business day. I know we have responded to yours also, it must have gotten lost in transit. It happens a lot now that all internet providers are installing anti-spam software.
To everyone - if you don't receive an email response from us, please send us a Private Message here on the forum. That for sure will make it to us. Email is less reliable than it used to.
Again, I'm sorry about the delay in getting you the information that you need, but please rest assured that we never leave customer emails unresponded.
I received a picture of the cordoba beige interior and it seemed like our TAN leather is a good match. A customer ordered this, received recently and says it's not that great. He will send me a picture comparing the colors. When I receive that, I'll be able to determine if BEIGE would be better.

Hi all,
we've had some trouble with the site these past 4 days. All should be OK now.
I wanted to share with you these close-up photos of the texture of our leathers (this is charcoal, but they all have the same texture). SWEET, don't you think?
If these don't convince you our products are well worth the asking price for it, I don't know what will. OK, maybe this 10% discount code will help!

NEW!! 4-panel shift boot design for the MINI!
Everyone,
we just received these fabulous pictures. It's our new, 4-panel shift boot design for the MINI. It costs $10 on top of the retail price due to the higher complication of the shift boot in comparison to the regular (2-panel) design.
There is no extra charge for alternating colors (like on these pictures). Just click these pictures to go to our site and find out more):
Here's a new 10% discount code for all those of you who feel they will order these within the next 5 days (after which the discount code expires):
28CK6KN4Y06
I'd like to extend a very warm THANK YOU to Brad Herman who came up with the idea, convinced me to give it a shot and afterwards took these photos for the benefit of the MINI community. Thank you Brad!

Question: For those of you who have installed these boots-I just received mine, and it looks great, I installed it, but it seems really loose at the top, just under the shift ****. Almost like if you look at the first picture of the gray and white boot, it looks kinda wide at the top, but the red and black has a tighter fit. I folded it under, like in the pics of the red and black, but it doesn't look tight like that. I thought of using a zip tie like the old boot had, but i only had the really small ones, and in order to pull it tight the leather was folded over itself in several spots making it too wide to get the zip tie closed. I'm gonna buy some bigger ones tomorrow to try again, but I'm not sure how it will look with the leather folded over itself as I said. Anybody who has installed it have any advice? Thanks.

i got mine installed awhile ago and i love it... real good quality leather... i got black leather with silver thread.. while it is subtle.. i couldn't ask for more! (and it goes well with dark silver!)

Thanks alot Kyriian, I used a zip tie, and it really made a difference. It looks great, really jazzes up the interior. I especially love the emergency brake boot, I got both the shift boot and e-brake boot in two-tone, red and black, with black stitching. I also have a wheelskins leather steering wheel cover in red and black. I think my next purchase will be wet okole seat covers in red and black to complete the look.

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to give you guys a quick update on what's going on at www.RedlineGoods.com.
1) We have vastly revamped our color chart (find it here: http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.shtm) to include ACTUAL pictures of the colors of leather and thread that we offer. Those of you who remember our site from before, we used to give you a general idea of the colors you were going to receive. Now, we show ACTUAL PICTURES - and LOTS of them, too! Makes a lot of difference if you're very particular about the colors you want on your boots.
2) We have simplified our shipping processes. Before, we used to ship our boots in a way that they needed to be signed for by the recipient. This was an endless cause of difficulty. Now - no more. They will be just left in your mailbox or on your porch. Much easier and hassle-free!
3) We probably will be forced to raise our prices on individual items as of next month (or the month after next at the latest). Since it takes us almost the same amount of work delivering your orders for a single boot as it does for orders that include two or more, the difference in price between a set of boots (currently $60) and a single boot (currently $35) should be smaller. You can expect an individual shift boot to go up in price to $40 SHIPPED. We will still give out discount codes, for sure, but the base amount will have grown by 12% or so, so after discount you'll be paying the same as today before the discount...
So... if you want a single shift boot, it might be a good idea to order one ASAP.
AND, to make it an easier decision, here is another 10% discount code. Valid for 5 days from midnight, today, all you need to do is paste it into the order form to receive 10% off immediately.
