Looking forward to it. I bought a Redline leather boot, and it is very nice. Spendy, but worth it. Hope yours turns out to your liking.

Does it come with the bezel like in the pic?

Does it come with the bezel like in the pic?

No. They make it very clear on the auction that the bezel is not included.

I scored about 10 boot and bezels a few years ago. I sold a few on ebay for crazy money lol. I coulda just sent you one for the cost of shipping.

No. They make it very clear on the auction that the bezel is not included.

Dang. oh well, still a great deal!

Judging from the pic...i don't think you'll be impressed. For $35 you could've got the reproduction leather boot from LRS. 1987-93 Mustang Leather Upper Shift Boot With Manual Transmission at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

I need a new bezel for the shifter on my 1980 lol. See if you can find one

By the time I install it on the super short shifter handle I have it should look fine.

I got the new boot from ebay. It looks just like the one from the auction picture. It came pre punched where the spring clips go. It took some work to get it on like it was susposed to go. I wasnt overly impressed with the quality of material But its decent...(workmanship was good)

The overall length was comparable to the oem length so it was way to long for a short shifter handle like mine. I had to modify and make it fit. It dosent look bad after installing it but it took some time to make it work for my needs. I had to trim it down and make it shorter,then I ziptied it below the ball and wrapped it tight with some black tape under the ball to hide the ziptie.... I did the same thing with my stock boot but it was all ripped and looked like crap.

ALL IN ALL ITS OK FOR THE PRICE. NOT SURE ID BUY ONE AGAIN.
IF YOU NEED A CHEAP REPLACEMENT GO FOR IT.
