Birds and Bowties www.birdsandbowties.com Got mine there for $25 and its an A+++ job. Its not real leather, its ultraleather but it looks and feels just as good. Check them out, the covergirl makes everything for our cars.

^^You happen to have a picture of that installed? I've been looking for a new boot too, but every one I find looks ugly...

Yep i got one on my camera of it. Only problem is every picture i take is too big, and i havent figured how to size them yet. If you PM me your Email ill send it to you, but ill try and resize them today if were not in the field. i personally think that it makes the interior more finished off with a nice black new boot on there .
