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!

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

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...

I'd like to know about the leather quality as well. The factory one doesn't feel that great to me, so I'd hope that the replacement would feel a lot softer and higher quality.

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 never thought the e-brake handle was that ugly to begin with, but that is one hundred times better looking. looks like it will be a great product

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!
