nice! i like the shift boot, how hard was it and do you need good Martha stewart skills to do it cause i wouldnt mind some red stitching in my boot

ScubaSteve · **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2008 8:10 am

shift boot was easy. all i did was put needle/thread in the same factory hole. It just stitched over stock, and no extra holes so i can remove when ever i want.

Looks good Steve

ScubaSteve · **Posted:** Tue Dec 09, 2008 4:18 pm

DIY Stitching. I used this thread and decided on my own pattern. I did it like a cross of a shoe. This one is more OEM but i found it hard to keep the stitching looking straight as you go over the factory stitching.

ScubaSteve · **Posted:** Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:19 am

You like that Ed haha. I painted then with flexible paint and it didnt work so. I just wraped them with tape. I also resprayed the pipe didnt like the abd powder coat.

GTI ED · **Posted:** Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:32 pm

Nice

just to let you know it's not powder coat it's ceramic coating you fool hahahah. :rotfl:

ScubaSteve · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 11:03 am

The ceramic coat shit sucked. I sanded it all the way down, cause it was uneven all over and i sanded there welds down alittle. they were massive.
:wohoo:

GTI ED · **Posted:** Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:06 pm

can't wait to see that car sitting correct Steve! and I know the monties will look good with the car sitting low...but the BBS rx2's will be coming off in the spring...and they may not be as clean as you monties, but the offer is still there, for you to use them!

ScubaSteve · **Posted:** Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:02 pm

Finally........
1) It not all the way down yet, needed to check if i could go over school speed bump,(now i have the car is going lower for sure)

Presidents day, I got Coilovers installed, 15mm Spacers(not installed waiting on bolt, got them cheap) for the rear, and a custom Driversport tune(more info in person)

SO here the picture
