that looks very similar, i imagine it would fit....ask someone who has a C4 (there seem to be a lot on here) to make some measurements. I think that boot looks awesome! I'll try asking someone with a C4...if u get any info tell me

edit: heres one for sale...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-9-...4810QQtcZphoto

the boot is from 84-89 vettes...i think this would look great on our cars...im really excited about this now

edit again! different colors!

i think it should fit with customizing for the shifter boot. It has 4 bolts so your prob should glue it or somthing on a TG plate.. Also my mirrors are heated as well

lot of the later ones did come with it. heres a pic i found of a GTA. As u can see what the leather boot looks like. But it seems like the 84-89 Vette shifter boots would look like they would fit better? C4 vettes came with smaller ***** then the later camaro ones..

Hey Nick, I see that red corvette everyday. I didn't know it was yours. Looks great. Hey I think there are a couple guys comin over this saturday, can you make it over for a bit??

The vette or the maro. Would be great to talk with you and have others meat up. Maybe get this "club" idea off the ground.

PM me if you need my address.

Of course, of course. Can't wait to get finally get some other guys over. I will check if anthony will be comin. Vadim (lives up the street from me) can't make it, he just had some surgery. But for far there should be at least 3 of us. So now there are 5 of us at least, and growing. By the time my car is done, this spring there should be a lot more.

Birds are welcome too. Anyone else in the area and interested?

A lil while back I was making and selling shift boots on here for automatic firebirds (manuals crashed and burned) a few people bought them and one person told me he fabbed it to fit into his camaro and it looks awesome. I was selling these boots for $10 shipped to the 48 states. If enough people really wanted I could start up again but there would need to be a few. I have materials for many colors too. I will try to get the members name and talk to him to come post some pics.

My dad has an 87 corvette in need of a boot and if I make him one, like I plan to do since it is an awesome birthday gift I will measure some things up for you guys.

Thats funny, sorry to go off subject here, but I gotta say this.

-- How come everyone drools on the corvettes red interior, and despises the camaro/firebird red interior.

Other than the seats, the interiors are quite similar. IMO
