shifter surround stitching color

PW370z · 08-30-2015, 06:36 PM

Hey guys. I plan on ordering a shift boot and e-brake boot soon from Redline Goods. Just wondering if anyone has done the same and what color thread they choose to match the OEM gray stitching (shift boot, shifter surround, knee pads). The 2 choices are light gray, and medium gray. I assume it is medium gray, but rather be 100% before ordering. Thanks in advance!

Why not be more radical and have it with red stitching to match the nismo interior design. Your changing the oem boots anyway make it more noticeable than going for gray stitching looks dull in my opinion.

But its your Z.
Light gray would be nice to add contrast from the black dashboard shade.

Dude I did mine for $4 and all the stichings are all red.

Let me know if your interested. It only need your virtue of patients in doing it.

Thanks man, I appreciate your idea. Since I don't have a Nismo, I don't think it'll look right. Besides the OEM boots, I still have the stitching on the knee pads and seats. The shifter surround also has the gray stitiching. I don't think it'll look right for me. I like the way the stitching is now, just want to try and get a color thread as close as possible to OEM.

Hopefully this info will help someone out in the future.
Here are two pics of the shift boot and surround out of the car (sorry for the gi-gun-doh pics - don't know how to make them smaller)
and a pic with the roadster alcantara knee pads, Redline Goods alcantara shift and e-brake boots with medium gray stitiching, and the stock shift knob wrapped in alcantara by Dallas Custom Steering Wheel.
