5 spd Leather Shift Boot

Does anyone know where I can get a New Leather Shift Boot? Not the rubber boot that goes on the Trans Tunnel, but the one on the console.

HELP!!!???

I am not certain about this, but I believe all of the boots were actually vynal. I had a real leather one made for my car, Which is a little nicer, but when new, the vynal would have problaby been fine...

If anyone has a GENUINE leather bootie cover I would be interested to know if it is factory or not...

Is the Summit part a direct replacement? I really don't want to have to go to GM for the part, I can get it for $75 through them and $75 is a lot 'o cash for a bunch of plastic JUNK!

The boot in my 85 IROC is leather (as I recall it came from an 84). The orginal in my car, by the way, was vinyl. If you can find a leather one, the clean up is easy: saddle soap, black shoe polish, and buffing.

I got it with a package when I converted my interior to all Leather. There was no specific charge for the bootie.

JC Whitney has a pretty nice leather one for about $16.00. It is a generic replacement in the interior section of the catalog.
