Yup. Anymore I price EVERYTHING on Sunset before contacting my local dealership. I've even had some luck recently with my local dealership price matching Sunset on some items. Now if only I could find a dealership in Virginia that I could order online with and not pay sales tax...

 

I paid $229 for my EOM piece, retail was $299 at the time.

 

Ordered 944-424-075-02-8YR (black) from Sunset for $225 +ship.

Thanks all, this has been very informative!

 

Hm, I think I'm going for the Pelican boot at $79.

 

Happy to assist over the phone if you have any questions or shoot us a message here. Thanks!

Vertexauto sells the Wheelskins for $44, I replaced my black one with it & it worked well; they were in stock, had it within a week.

 

Finally got my replacement boot from AGLA. On a positive note it's a drop-in replacement for the OEM boot. Definitely on the negative side, the cap on top looks amateur. In the end it was worth the $90 I paid, but definitely not all of the hassle.

 

Thanks to all for your input here!

I got the factory part in yesterday, and it went in easily. You can bend the clip holding the shift **** to the shifter out a tiny bit, forming a very slight "W": this makes it much easier to reinstall things without compromising the clip's effectiveness.

Only real problem is that the boot and shift pattern insert don't match the rest of the interior's 165,000 mi. patina. :-)
