Has anyone put a leather handbrake boot onto an NA? Could you please show me some pictures so I know what it looks like. Thanks a bunch.

I have one of the Benny's boots on mine - will try to get a photo later (or drop by Mania next week for a first hand look).

They slip over the top of the hard plastic case, so they're not soft like around the shifter. They look pretty good to me (and I bought mine looong before I worked at Mania, so no bias there).

this is one of my older pic.

i have Benny's boot, red leather with black stitching.

You are supposed to keep the plastic part on underneath?

it's up to you whether u wanna keep the plastic underneath i guess.

What does it look like without the plastic underneath?

My boots have been designed to fit either with the hard plastic in place, or without it.
It really doesn't matter as it will fit both ways.

They are made from soft garment leather with some foam glued on the right places so it fits nice without bagging, and feels just wonderful.
I stroke mine all the time.

My boots also come with instructions, although when you've put it on, you wonder if they are really required.

Thanks Benny. Yes I already have your Gear Shift boot.

Just been posted recently. Put on over the top of the plastic but didn't need to. Just looked fuller.

This is a Scala leather boot from MX5Mania.



I don't like the loose, baggy look.

no boot ftw.

Seems nobody is into the baggy look...I like the baggy look - its just I have a feeling it will be too baggy. Am I right?
