: FS: CF Patterned Shift Boots - Cheap
kidneythief13 03-22-2009, 05:03 PM Last boots SOLD!
/thread
Hey guys/girls,
I bought some CF patterned vinyl to make a shift boot for my BF & ended up making a few more. The fabric is about 1mm thick & is a charcoal color. It's supposed to be stain resistant, water repellant, & can take some weather/sun abuse since it was originally meant for upholstery for boats. The quality is much, much better over the stock boot. The fit is also perfect, since I did an excellent cutting job :-P Anyways, I'm selling them for $10 each + shipping (so approximately $15 total) < special evoxforums price ;). Canadians are welcomed to PM me for shipping quotes as well.
Here are the pics:

LMK if you guys have any questions!
xPRimNT 03-22-2009, 05:07 PM Cool! I was looking at some local sources for CF-like fabric to make one myself!
This is cheaper :P
Let me know how cheaply you can ship to Canada!
(PS - I realize that I posted this only minutes after you originally started the thread. I'm not a lurker, just good timing!)
kidneythief13 03-22-2009, 05:09 PM ^lol. PM me your postal code & I'll check on shipping.
TargeT 03-22-2009, 06:30 PM wow, thats some girly handwriting there mis girly...
how do you take the monies? paypal? is it hard to "install" (I tryed for an hour to get my center console out of the car and ended up breaking a bunch of plastic tabs trying to do it..)
you should use USPS flat rate stuff, or priority mail, super cheap :D
I'll take one, I dont like CF so much, but what ever cheapocrap the stock one is made out of has GOT TOGO!
oh, and FYI vinyl is a plastic product, so its totaly stain proof and 100% water resistant (water proof?) though direct sunlight can get mean to it over time, just like all plastics.
kidneythief13 03-22-2009, 08:07 PM ^I actually think my handwriting is a bit sloppy, but oh well.
As for install, it's fairly easy. There's a downloadable PDF here: http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2920
I got your PMs, xPRimNT & evo2be. I'll reserve 2 for you & get you guys shipping quotes in a few hours. I'm pretty busy at the moment.
& TargeT, I only accept paypal & will reserve one for you as well, just send me your zip code.
I'll be back on here in a couple hours, thanks for your patience.

thanks
xPRimNT 03-22-2009, 10:43 PM Wow. If you have some time, it looks like you could make some serious cash!
kidneythief13 03-22-2009, 10:57 PM ^lol I know!
I received a couple more PMs & will send you all quotes w/in the next 30 mins to 1 hour.
Excalibur 03-23-2009, 01:22 AM I will be ordering this shortly. Looks great.
kidneythief13 03-23-2009, 01:37 AM As a warning: To those w/MRs (like me), this boot would have to be trimmed down about half way (GSR boot is huge in comparison).
Nohan13 03-23-2009, 01:38 AM Hey, I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback on this, since the boot is in my car. I think it turned out great. Anyone who grabs this good deal while they can will be glad they did.
kidneythief13 03-23-2009, 04:35 PM 3 are sold! I have 8 remaining. If purchases are made w/in the next 2 hours, I'll get them shipped out today :)

If we ordered one for an MR could you trim it to MR size since you already have that sized?
kidneythief13 03-23-2009, 05:12 PM ^I'll have to look into that & re-stitch it. I would need some serious interest though.
I had a dumb moment & didn't think of that. I :fail:
EDIT: Hmm, I actually just re-thought this. The boot would be smaller in all directions. The MR boot is not as wide, long, or tall as the GSR boot. I don't want to rip out my boot, since I really like the way it looks. It wont easily work out.
Scooter 03-23-2009, 05:19 PM Waaaah... Oh well... :( Well if I do the project Iheartevo has posted I will just use some leftover fabric from that to make the boot.

kidneythief13 03-23-2009, 05:23 PM ^ lol. I want to do that CF fabric for my BF's GSR too!
Be careful doing the boot in the same material. I thought about that & asked "Viciouz" on evom about that. He said that the fabric would be too thin. The next day, he posted a thread where he made a boot out of that very material & said that he didn't like the outcome. Here's his pic: http://forums.evolutionm.net/6819046-post1.html It has a lot of folds because of the fabric's lack in thickness.
MOB EVO X 03-25-2009, 06:23 AM I want this. PM me if you have any left and what payment method you are using.
Thanks
kidneythief13 03-25-2009, 03:51 PM ^YGPM
Storm_trooper 03-25-2009, 06:52 PM ^^ you got a pm :D
kidneythief13 03-25-2009, 08:19 PM ^PM sent. I only have 5 left!
Also, 2 out of the 5 remaining will be discounted to $5/each + shipping. The reason is that the CF pattern doesn't perfectly line up on either side, which erks me. It wont really be noticeable when installed, but I thought you guys should know. If anyone wants these discounted ones, make sure to let me know that you specifically want them.

evo4g63awd 03-25-2009, 08:46 PM Do you have any with the darker material? These look AWESOME! Looks quality!
kidneythief13 03-25-2009, 08:51 PM ^Sorry, I don't. This is the material my BF wanted for his, so that's what they're made from.
kidneythief13 03-27-2009, 07:34 PM Price drop on slightly miss-aligned patterned boots, now $5 (+ shipping). Check the pics in post #21, it's just really me being picky.
