I also played around with grommets, Spacers, Zip ties etc. and came up with some workable stuff, but this looks so much better.
Lends a littl splash of color to. Almost a dead wringer for the Alcantara on my Sparco seats that I hope to install....:ugh2:

did you order yours shorter? it looks great. what type of modification did it require? i am going to hold off on my voodoo/short shifter install until i get one now i think...

Racer..Thanks! The stock boot has 4 locating holes that the 350 did not have, though all the small locating holes lined up just fine. I couldn't find my leather punch so I just slit the leather where these holes are so the boot would fit down over the plastic bosses that those holes go over. It's pretty self explanatory when you get it apart. Redline has install instrucions and pictures for the 350 on their site.. The Voodoo sits a bit lower so you are essentially shortening the throw a bit. I bought the stock height boot. It stretches a tad going into reverse so only get the shorter one if you have a B&M..

I have a redline boot on my yaris. it was cheap and fits nice. It took about 2 weeks to get, but then came USPS, so no signature needed. Overall positive experience.

The smaller hole fits the shaft perfectly and Hugs the Knob bottom. I ordered a 350Z one and it fit with very little modification:

I used the Redline shift boot in my 8 when I did the short shifter. I got it in pacific blue (same color as the rest of the interior) and it matched perfectly. Great buy in my opinion
