Unhappy 944 Shift Boot - eBay?

OK, I know, I tried to save a buck and am now embarassed to let you all know I looked on eBay for part. Anyway, anyone recommend a place to buy a black leather shift boot for my '88 944? The leather boot I bought on eBay is too thick to fit under the plastic cap.

How about performance products, 9xauto.com, or paragon?

You can purchase a 'genuine' replacement from Auto Atlanta.

Won't be cheap- $406.00

They also have a 'new' one for $59.00.

Not sure how different the two are....prolly only a purist would know.

I bought one of the wheelskins shift covers from ebay and had a little trouble fitting the leather under the cap. I think I ended up using water or leather conditioner to soften the leather up a bit to fit it under the cap. Good luck!

I used a Wheelskin as well. It is a little thick; however, if you pull a little extra over the shifter you can then trim...make sure you use some good glue. Mine came out really nice. It took a lot of patience.

http://stores.ebay.com/ALAN-GUN-LEAT...dZ2QQtZkmather. They sell them on ebay for less. You just bought from the wrong people.
Alan Gun does lots of quality Porsche work.

9x gets there's from alan gun, just as paragon does. 9x is WAY over priced for anything. Just FYI.
