Hello everyone at Club Lexus. This is Jack from RedlineGoods saying Hello to all you Lexus enthusiasts!

We, RedlineGoods.com, are no stranger to the automotive industry. We have been providing our customers (now over 35 000) with QUALITY GENUINE ITALIAN LEATHER SHIFT BOOTS since 1999. If you take pride in your ride - you will want to read this.

Has your shift boot seen better days?
Have you purchased a short shifter kit and the stock boot doesn't look good anymore or even hinders shifter travel?
Do you simply want to upgrade your stock vinyl pieces to finer leather?
Are you looking for the finishing touch to your custom interior?

Regardless of the reasons, RedlineGoods has a solution for you.

Starting with fine, buttery soft Italian leather, we will hand-craft new boots for your vehicle. The boots are made specifically for your model, so they fit your ride perfectly without any modification - unlike one-size-fits-all boots sold by others that almost "fit" any car but always looks as if dedicated to another model! See for yourself:



RedlineGoods has nothing to do with mass production. We're all about YOUR needs and YOUR car, which means a vast array of customization options.

These range from available materials (leather, carbon-fiber, faux-alcantara, perforated leather), through many color options (30+ colors of material and threads) to various finishing types (quadruple thread, two-tone, stripes and piping) - and we're open to even more custom arrangements. You can find our complete color chart by clicking here: RedlineGoods color chart.

You can also order a re-sized shift boot for your short shifter or custom transmission setup, get the boot with the mounting bracket (where available) and order extra padding for your armrest cover. Or if you need a small design modification, for example in order to get your aftermarket shift **** to sit flush against your shift boot - we're the ones you should send an email to Me!

Our products are hand made to your order, shipped from Europe and arrive at your doorstep within two weeks from placing an order.

Our products have been discussed on many automotive forums and we frequently receive great customer comments. Just run a search on RedlineGoods on this forum to find out more about us, our products and our customer feedback. Even though we'e a fresh vendor here :-)

Since, as the proverb goes, a picture is worth a 1000 words, here are some of them for your enjoyment. Click the link above them to go directly to our page dedicated to YOUR CAR, where you can easily order them with PayPal or your credit card!

Please remember that if you cannot decide without seeing the colors in person you can ORDER SAMPLES from us. For a mere $10 you'll get ALL the samples (a small swatch of each color) and, more importantly, if you actually order a product going by those, you'll get $5 of that reimbursed to you.

Find below some photos of our STRIPED BOOTS. These can be ordered for any car and unless you specify otherwise, the stripes will be put wherever there are stitches on your stock boot, ie. a stripe is inserted between two adjacent panels, which are also re-sized to make sure the overall dimension is correct!

Stripes can be combined with stitching which can be CONTRASTING (these two are black perforated leather with light gray stripes and contrasting thread):



Same as above but solid, not perforated, black:



Thread can be also MATCHING so it won't be visible



Thread can be color-matched to the stripes or to the main panels' leather color. Here color matched to stripes, obviously.



Or it can be a completely different color than either the main panels OR the stripes - below is black leather with white stripes and red thread:

And now, PIPING - a cool, sporty and elegant way to finish off your shift boots. Piping can be done for any car, and it replaces the threads with a special, well, pipe made by wrapping a thin plastic tube with leather. It looks amazing:









When ordering please make sure to select the primary color as the first leather color and the color of the piping as the secondary leather color.

Another special finishing we offer is QUADRUPLE THREAD. The idea is simple - there are four rows of thread instead of two, and you can choose both the color of the two inside threads, as well as the color of the outside threads. They can all be the same color, but they don't have to - which gives a vast array of visual effects:

CARBON-FIBER VINYL is the theme of the day today. It's a synthetic material (vinyl-based) with the carbon-fiber structure embossed on it. It definitely looks sporty, definitely automotive and is the base of some very fine looking shift boots:













We have several colors of it available so please be sure to check out our color chart: http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.shtm

For those of you who are still in doubt about RedlineGoods.

Check our idea of a sporty addition to any interior.

Here goes our perforated leather:






It combines very well with our best finishing types:

1) Stripes (here - BLACK PERFORATED LEATHER WITH SILVER CARBON FIBER STRIPES... I know they seem white, but they are silver CF for sure, the camera flash makes them look whitish):




2) Piping (light gray piping on perforated black leather - notice how well it matches with the seats - though they are a completely different color, the same pattern of perforations makes them really come together!):





And here another sample of perforated leather and piping:

Or maybe don't like?

Whatever your feedback, let me know


Have a great Friday

Take care

Very nice sir.

Just a few words to those of you, who are still in doubt whether it's worth your while to look for leather shift boots or other interior parts:


Surprising as it may seem, even some of the most respectful cars with price tags well above the $40.000, despite being advertised as furnished by their creators with leather interiors, do not have all of the interior pieces made with real leather. In as much as the seats themselves usually are leather indeed, the second most important piece of car interior upholstery is very often made with vinyl, rather then real leather. It is an element that is actually moved around several or hundreds of times a day (depending on your transmission type) and, although the forces used to handle it are nothing compared to the strain exerted on your leather seats by the sheer weight of your body, this means a significant amount of abuse. It does not take long for the abuse to show, so even if you couldn’t guess what is the object of reference of this description, just take a look in your car, unless it’s a new one or an automatic. Why? Automatics rarely come equipped with a shift boot.

How can you tell what is the stock piece made of? Please keep in mind that car interiors are a very demanding environment for upholstery with temperatures changing from way-below-freezing to a boiling heat, a challenge irrelevant to home upholstery for example, therefore the materials used need to fulfill more rigorous standards. Vinyl, sometimes referred to as pleather as well, is a synthetic material, which comprises a thin rubbery external layer attached to a textured backing. The external layer is not very durable and under normal operating conditions of the interior of a car will become stiff and brittle, which eventually leads to it peeling away from the backing.

Only one of numerous examples:


From the engineering standpoint it is therefore even more surprising, how often a leather shift boot you think your car has turns out to be a vinyl one, although the seats are genuine leather and the hood of your car boasts its make to be as exclusive as BMW or Corvette. Even some automotive legends such as the Acura NSX or the Nissan Skyline are subject to this phenomenon.

There are aftermarket companies that work hard to fill that gap, however, so luckily whenever you get fed up with looking at your shift boot once it’s better days are over, your choices are not as limited as purchasing an OEM replacement with a rather steep price tag (aren’t all OEM replacement items ridden with the price disease?). If you Google for ‘leather shift boots’ dozens of businesses come up that would be happy to furnish you with a replacement item, this time made with real leather.

Be wary of universal boots sold by the biggest automotive aftermarket companies, however. The one-size-fits-all concept behind those products almost invariably means that you will end up with an item that will look even worse than the stock piece. The material indeed can be better, but the fit will be a scandal, sometimes bad to the point of using lengths of string, visible after the install is completed, to hold the boot to your center console and shift lever. After all, unisex products haven’t really ever made it big, have they?

Make sure you go with a boot that’s custom made for your car when you go shopping for one. It needs to be cut using a template similar to or identical with the one used by your car’s manufacturer. Only that will guarantee that the installation is easy (you can expect to be re-using your stock mounting hardware), and that the end result will be impressive.
And do get a shift boot that’s made with genuine leather. You will love the smell of real leather luxury your car interior will gain with the new shift boot.

Thank You for Your time

Take care

Jack
