All leather shift boot with pre punched holes to easily replace the original stock shift boot.

Purchased the leather shift boot at the PBC store in Chantilly, VA. It included very detailed directions on how to remove the old boot (down to where to find the screws to remove the console!),and install the new one. I easily replaced it without needing any special help or tools. A philips head screw driver was the only tool needed.

Excellent, well made boot to replace the vinyl stock one. Makes the whole interior of the car look like it's been upgraded. If you are looking for one upgrade for your Miata that will make a huge difference, choose a leather shift boot!

Black leather shift boot.

After 13 years and 2 factory shift boots (the second one was completely worn and ripped), combined with the fact the Mazda dealer wanted $38.00 for another factory boot, I finally started looking at leather replacements. After shopping around, I found the PBC boot to have the best quality vs. price of any brand, so I ordered it for a delivered price of $34.45. I am extremely pleased with this product! The leather is of high quality and the grain accents the factory dashboard nicely. I was skeptical that replacing only the shift boot would spruce up the interior, but it does improve the overall look quite a bit. The only problem I had was that there were no installation holes punched on the front edge of the boot. 5 minutes with a Swiss army knife took care of that.

Black leather with red stitching. High-quality materials and manufacturing.

My old vinyl boot was full of holes, and I was not sure if I wanted to get a stock replacement or get the leather boot. Leather was the right way to go! It is a snap to install, and will give you a reason to inspect/replace those other two rubber shift boots that are underneath. I highly recommend this product to anyone who would like to spiff up their interior on a budget.

Black leather shift boot

Used to replace torn OEM vinyl boot. Took 20 minutes to install. Fit great.

Very good quality. Does wonders for the appearance of the interior. More than one might imagine from just a shift boot. At $25 it is $20 cheaper than the BSP boot, and I can't imagine the BSP boot to be of an higher quality. This one is tough to beat. Great value. Looks excellent with my M2 knob (also only about $28).

Leather Shift boot - replacement for drab OEM Vinyl shift boot

Took about 20 minutes from start to finish to install. Instructions were well detailed and accurate. Replacement boot fit perfectly.

Since my original OEM boot had a hole in it and was rather frayed, this new leather boot has dramatically spiced up my interior. Matches up with my new Voodo shift knob perfectly!
