Installed my Redline custom leather shift boot and e-brake boot. Had to doctor them a bit; it was as if the die for the cuts was backwards when mine was manufactured, slits where there were no tabs on the frame, tabs where there were no slits. Maciek at Redline said he would exchange it if I wasn't happy after I made the adjustments, which i thought was cool, because I didn't want to have to return it to Poland unless I really had to. Anyway, it turned out perfectly, so here's the pics:
While I'm at it, here's the damage I've incurred over the last month or so:
Front bumper, my fault, parallel parking:
Rear bumper, a gift from another non-parker who chose to remain anonymous (hit and run)
This picture actually looks worse than it is...my reflection makes it look like the bumper is wrinkled below the scratch, but it's really just a scratch right above the ridge. Estimates range from $900 to $300. Thinking about doing it myself...
