Want custom Shift Boot

Just got a 2010 Mayfair edition and it is absolutely beautiful, however the shift boot looks "um UGLY". The shift **** is the same toffee leather as the seats and looks great but the shift boot and e-brake boot look cheap. I don't even know if they are leather. Okay know with that said I went on a few sites for custom boots (redline and shiftstyles) the problem know lies in the quality and the color matching. So my question to you'll is Has anyone ordered one of these and do you know what color would match my interior. "Toffee" I sent pics to redline and they said it would be easier to pick a neutral color and then match the thread with the toffee, but that is not what I want. So know that I have held everyone hostage by computer please if you will give a girl some advise. Much Thanks.........

These can be ordered fromteh dealer "in Leather" to match the seats and the shift ****.

It is actaully unfortunate that when you order the mathcing shift **** that they do not include the shift boot. Udderly rediculous in my opinion. And i know when I ordered my car they did not show that the ebrake handle and boot are also available. I told the dealer is was rahter upset about the matter and two day later I was called to have the parts installed.

I know and I wish that the dealer offered it in this toffee color but the hot chocolate does not match or I would have that put in. So far there is not a match. We'll see.....

Talk to the parts department they do make them in Toffe Color. I do not have access to the most current part number right now but I have a friend that has them.
