I finally got my parts in the mail all the way from Europe – My Custom Redlinegoods shift boot! I installed this at the same time I installed the MPX short throw shifter, as well as a Momo shift knob. I really thought I wanted the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Carbon Gear Knob – but it was out of stock. I’m patient, so I would have waited, however, after doing more research, i found that this was not the best option. It is a plain grey ball, and didn’t seem to have the leather/comfort/grip/feel that I really wanted.
This is really the coolest combination! The Redline Leather Shift boot looks AMAZING! They put a lot of detail into the products, and it looked even better in person than it did when I designed it on their website using their color tools. You can pick out stitching color, stripes, two stripes, you can do virtually anything. I got an email right away explaining the international shipping information, and what to expect. It showed up just as they said it would, and I am extremely happy with the whole setup.
The throw of the shifter took a week to get used to, but now it’s like butter. I have not missed any second gear shifts, and the metal grommets (which replace 4 stock rubber bushings) feel more solid, more like a sports car should. The grip of the MOFO shift knob is groovy as well. Yeah, I know it’s Momo, but now I’m the Mofo!!
I’ll be showing this beast off tonight at our local Berwyn Cruise Nights at the Depot District! Shazam!
I replaced all of the interior lights, as well as the trunk lights with LEDs.
I later added red gap trim, in several sizes and trimmed the interior. I also installed the MPX short throw shifter, and Momo shift knob. I later painted the yellow Momo logo with orange/red color shift chameleon paint. The vents, HVAC controls, and dashboard was wrapped in Carbon Fiber vinyl. The leather shift boot is from Redline Goods. The switch on the left is for the electric exhaust cutout.
