My original vinyl shift boot was cracked had holes in it and was just looking nasty.I order a new black leather shift boot with white stitching form a company called top gaiters. I must say it is very nice and fits very well. It is genuine leather. Funny thing about it is that it is giving my 8 an new car leather smell I love it. Anyways good quality construction,nice sift leather feel and I love the stitching. If you all are looking for a boot replacement this place has lots of color options quick shipping and good customer service. Here is a pic of it.thanks

I have the exact same boot... have had it for about a year now... the only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is the stainless steal ring up top.

heh -- I was born @ Stormont Vale ... bulk half of my family lives in Osage City, a few in Emporia, and a couple stragglers down in Wichita.

Agreed on the ring however it still seats the base of the shifter just fine. On the other note my wife 2 kids and myself live in topeka Kansas . My wife's family are all in Nebraska and mine are in the southern part of Ohio. How did I end up in Kansas you are thinking? Well that's a whole other story! Lol

Nice find! The small details make a bid difference to me, I need blue stitching....

Has Kansas sucked all of us in! I'm a transplant from central AR, now live in southern KC. This was suppost to be a temporary move haha....5 years later we're looking at buying a house this year here.

Same story here. I spent the first 21 years of my life in dayton ohio.My wife and I moved to kansas in 1997 pregnant with our first son and didnt plan on staying but here we are 2 kids and 2 houses later.

Do you still have an 8? Im in kc all the time from topeka. are there many meets or car cruises in kc to hang at?

We're about to take the plunge and buy here...I think. We've been uncertain the last handful of years if we wanted to stay, but business is good and schools are great.

I still have my 8, the only car show's/meet's I see any other rotary powered cars here are in KC is at KC Trends in O.P., KS every other Friday night. Thats the event I started posting about in the KC roll call. It's a blast, write over there or pm me if your ever going. As long as it's great weather I'm there.
