You make your own , for yourself, or for sale.

Well currently I don't have the products needed to make shift boots or anything else, but hopefully I will soon and then I plan to start making small things for thirdgens. I made my shift boot out of a material called 'whisper' , its really soft and feels great. I'm not sure how much I would charge to make them though. Any other ideas on small thirdgen items i could make?

I bought mine from a company called lightning customs on ebay. I think it was like $20 b/c I wanted a different color than any they had pre-made. They were really helpful and even tried to match it to my seats off of a pic I emailed them. So the pic isn't real close up, I'll have to go take another one, but you get the idea.

Here's a close up. Their ebay id is actually lightningautocustoms. They have them for $15 and free shipping for a variety of colors. I may actually buy a second one. Hope this helps.

I bought one for my GTA off somebody on Ebay. I forget who the seller was. It's already managed to develop a small split in the vinal, but overall it looks good. It looks just like the stock one did.

For my IROC, I'm having a harder time finding a suitable replacement. The Camaros used a leather boot, not vinal like the firebirds, so I don't want to replace it with vinal.
