T-5 shifter boot

Does amyone know where I can get a new leather shifter boot for a 88 Iroc T-5 manual transmission???

I hear that the GM replacements are simulated leather. I would rather have one made before I would use simulated anything!!

There's somebody on ebay selling real leather ones. I see it pretty regularly.

I just bought an after market one with a strecth fit bottom part that was big enough to stretch over the metal ring that holds the stock one on. Once you remove the old one, stretch the new one over, and thread the four screws back in. This opens up your options quite a bit, I found a black leather one with red stitching. Finding one with a big enough bottom can be kinda hard though, you just have to look around.

Uhh....I ordered it through a car stereo place I used to work at....cant remember what kind it was though, sorry. Maybe measure the perimeter of the metal peice that holds it on, then make sure the new one is big enough before you buy it....
