Default Custom Leather Shops?

Hey fellas,

Looking to get an alcantara shift boot for my 2001 911 turbo...to match the custom alcantara wheel that came on my car.

I'd go for the a 996 GT3 RS Alcantara boot but I can only find them available with red or blue stitching.

My wheel has black stitching. So I'm looking for a place that could make a shift boot in alcantara with black stitching.

Did a google search and sent a few emails to shops, like Classic 9 and a couple others that came up...just wondering if anyone else might have any other sources/ideas.

If so, please let me know! Thank you!

I'm running an OEM GT3RS alcantara shifter with red stitching and I had Dallas Custom make me a matching steering wheel.

I'm really happy with the results...

Yeah, that looks great man. I wonder if they'll make me a shift boot. I'll give them a try. Thank you!

DCT is in Santa Clara, Ivan could probably get it done for you. Also, there is Finish Line Interiors in Santa Clara that does great work. They did my Alcantara dash pod and did a great job. GL

My local shop completely redid my entire interior with 918 leather hides. Looks fantastic. A shifter boot would be a walk in the park for them.

Don't have the greatest pix on my phone but I can take more later.

I'm sure they're gonna show up backwards and sideways too. Not sure why rennlist does that

I've got some left over swatches of Alcantara. If you need a piece for this project let me know.

Turn your boot inside out.

DCT does great work. I have been less than impressed with the work I have seen from Dallas Steering Wheel.
