Well worth it. The factoy boot is so cheezy! The Redlines come out of Poland, but I had it in about 10 days from order...

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....

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..
