homemade suede handbrake boot

TroyDeJ · 12-03-2011, 09:57 PM

well i decided to make a custom handbrake boot and shift boot (not done yet) out of micro suede i got online. i figured out my moms sewing machine which was not very hard at all lol and this is how i turned out. it looks purple in the pictures but its black. tell me what you think.

Nice work. It looks like your center console plastic is peeling. I guess I'm not the only one with the issue.
