Just received my new custom shift boot from "350trackZ" also known as Mike Gronholz (really good guy!!).
He was very open to new ideas for shift boots and had a few of his own ideas--- they can pretty much do anything in any color that you want ... that was my impression
So -- I wanted a simple but unique black leather with N, S, E, W silver stitching-- something that wasn't too loud and matched the interior accents of the Z nicely (my custom Pinnacle Liquid CF Daytona Blue dash is MORE than loud enough!! gotta love it!) So the install was REALLY easy..
I dunno why you guys are struggling to take off the shift ****- it was exceptionally easy on my car, barely needed vice grips at all. Start to finish ( I really took my time and saved the orig. boot noted all of the install/remove process, etc.) == prob. ~1 hr. I conditioned the leather--- now I just gotta break it in with lotsa shifting!!
Hope you enjoy the pics!! Thanks, Mike!!!!!

Looks cool. Do you have any pics of the whole interior?

is that a CF overlaying/real CF dash that you have there? or painted dash that look like a colored CF?!?!

 

its the SuiteEGraphX (PinnacleLiquid) custm silk screen CF dash painting. they use a technique to achieve the CF appearance. It does not look exactly like CF, but it is a TOP NOTCH job and it makes the inside of the Z look millions of times better IMO!!!!
Thanks
ZZ

 

say wha-hahaha?!?! so you can just do that yourself?!?!

 

Whoa, that blue CF look is pretty catchy... sorry, that stole the thunder from your shift boot there...

 

I think this was all a ploy to draw attention to his dash

 

Not necessarily
I am very happy with all of the asthetic interior mods I have made. I think it gives my cabin a personal touch!
Thanks for looking!!
And CatastrophZZ: I really don't think anyone can do a custom CF dash like SuitEgraphX-- you really have to see their stuff, its amazing! I work with carbon fiber laminations every day (I make artificial limbs) and trust me--- I have thoroughly researched cost effort etc. to make custom CF dash panels -- not a lot of fun- the molds alone would be a nightmare!
Good luck!

That blue dash is cool. How much did that run you?

 

They were running a sale last fall- I think I paid about $500... well worth it IMO for a truly excellent custom look!!
Everyone comments postitively on it!! plus its fantastic to look at every day!!
