Default Blue suede shift boot: Tell me what you think

Just made this for my car. Tell me what you think of it. I made it out of ultrasuede, it feels and looks just like suede but is more durable and will last much longer. Im thinkin about selling some of these so if anyone would be interested let me know. I have to decide if i want to do this or not.

The boot itself looks great!

Only thing i'm not "sold" on yet is since it's blue and it's suede... it doesn't really match anything in the interior yet. But other than that little nitpick, it looks good.

If you were able to get the same orange to match, i'm almost positive you'd have some serious buyers... and leather to match those with the frost interior too.

It'll look awesome when you get the blue seats to match... i think the interior looks much better w/ the boot matching the seats.

looks good but using a different color thread w/the french seam would look so much nicer. btw it needs to be loose to allow the shifter to have movement americanmade

As long as you match other pieces of the car with the boot, then I approve.
