Anyone make toffy leather shifter/ebrake boots?

As the thread title says, I'm looking to get some toffy leather shifter and brake boots to replace the OEM black ones.

Google search returned nada. Any leads?

Your best bet is through OutMotoring, they make customer shift and e-brake boots.

I got custom shift and e-brake gaiters or boots from Redline. Very nice product, good quality, and a great finished look. Not sure if they have toffee colored leather, but it'd be worth a look.

Thanks - It appears both Out Motoring and Redline carry the same product. I called Out Motoring and a rep told me that they don't have an exact match to Toffy leather. They can get close but it's not exact, and since the boots are right next to the seats it'll bug the sh$t outta me if it's different color.

I'll keep looking but thanks for the ideas!

I hear ya. I have the Cordoba Beige/Carbon Black interior, and if Redline didn't have an exact match, I would've gone with solid neutral color as the slightest color variation/mismatch would eat at me too

Here's the finished product in my baby:

Or, you could make you own if you are a handy Mini owner.

After all its just leather and sewing it on one side or use velcro; give it a try !

Well, that's a good suggestion but a) I would need to source some MINI toffy leather and b) it would look like Helen Keller sewed it together...
