i have another question about the same corevett yesrs. will the automatic shift boot and shift handle fit our automatic shift plates? heres a picture http://carad.ebayimg.com/i24/03/a/04/eb/83/c9_4.JPG

DanTheMan_smlk 09-11-2005 07:16 PM

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 :thumbsup:

edit: heres one for sale...

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

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 :o

i do not think so but i do not know alot about firebirds.

AmorgetRS 09-13-2005 02:44 PM

Firebird, at least my 91 GTA, have a leather shift boot on an AT. As I recal so does my 90 Base...

DanTheMan_smlk 09-13-2005 05:24 PM

we need firebird people to post pics then....

nick418 09-13-2005 06:00 PM

i remember now. i think most later firebirds like GTAs came leather boots (not the early ones, KR style) My cousins 1988 GTA with a L98 has a leather boot and also a kid i know with a black 1991 base Firebird convertible has one as well

nick418 09-13-2005 06:05 PM

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 knobs 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.

hey dennis! The last few SATs ive been working at my fathers.. But im bugging him about this SAT. So i deff have to come! I know where you live. Its not even 5 mins from the station. Anyways if im coming (which i hopefully am) i would be brining the corvette. THe maro is off the road.. Hopefully u guys can squeeze a vette in the club :D

dennisbernal91z 09-14-2005 09:44 AM

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. :thumbsup:

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

DanTheMan_smlk 09-14-2005 03:49 PM

yeah, thats why ive said all along....

i was drivin the maro today and realized there isnt much room for a boot there...i dont think the shifter is as tall either

i wounder how long the Corvettes automatic shifter is? can any one measure theres?

DanTheMan_smlk 09-14-2005 07:25 PM

yeah, we just need to get nick off his lazy *** and get a tape measure :D

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:)
