DIY COLOR SHIFT BOOT STITCHING

I installed my Whalen and had to shorten the shifter boot and got an idea for doing my own red accent stitching. I found some 5 strand cotton thread, similar in guage used for threading leather, and a large needle and stitched away at the existing stitches. Did the Ebrake too. Very subtle accent of red between the black double stitching. Took no time to do really, and little effort involved other than removing the shifter ring and e-brake boot. All very simple.

Thanks

Thanks Chris, I know you have modded your rear deck with a subwoofer, but check out my new rear floor I put in today, I had some materials already, so the total cost was under $40.00 bucks.....:
