It is subtle. But it is nice! Very nice. I have a feeling that I will be placing an order for a full set eventually. I say eventually because I just bought a new car and only 8 days later I found myself in the housing market.
Oh well. I wasn't in the market for a car until I test drove an 05 GT over Thanksgiving, so I bet this will work out too!
While the arm-rest cover is nice, I think you get more bang for the buck with the e-brake boot. The stock rubber peice just looks a bit cheap... Not to mention the stock e-brake arm!

Wow, that looks exactly like what comes in a Lincoln LS. Looks great when combined with the factory leather seats. I'm going to have to get that handbrake boot and armrest cover for mine.

I really like it... actually I love it...
But the ebrake when not pull up.... the leather looks like its too small... like its stretching...
I'd like more of a natural look to the stretch...

Nice! So what was involved in installing the e-brake cover? How's the quality of the leather compared to the OEM shifter boot?

BTW, the installed pieces look great!

Yes it was a bit tight. Mine was sort of a pre-production first.
The boot have received small tweeks in this regard.
Even so everybody that I've shown it to likes it. A lot of interest.
You can always e-mail any questions directly to Redline.
He'll make it anyway you want it, anyway . Very customer oriented.

I ordered the three piece set from Redline and it arrived yesterday. I have the light graphite leather interior with IUP lite, and so I decided to order the black leather with silver/gray stitching. We plan to do the install this weekend, but I wanted to share a few photo's and comments with you now.
Impressions- the leather on the Redline stuff feels very nice. It's a little thinner that what I was expecting, but feels very supple and much nicer than the factory boot. The pictures are taken in my other car, because my hubby had the camera so I stopped by his office to snap some shots. I'll post more pictures after we get them installed.

I have the red interior and installed their kit on mine a couple weeks ago.My car is on their site with regards to pics in the red interior section.Install on the brake boot was a bit difficult and I added a few more holes in the boot itself so it would hold better,but all in all I like the entire setup!
