It looks great, a nice improvement. I think it will look even better with my SmartBillet e Brake handle. I'll try and post a picture of the combo when the gaiter I ordered (red and black as well) arrives.

Who is actually making or selling this product? Is it a family member or a neighbor? Sorry to ask, but both you and American Products are located in Indianapolis. Also, at least the before picture posted on their web site appears to be the same one you have on your smart gallery.

Nothing wrong with supporting emerging local small businesses, but I just want our forum community to know where testimonials are coming from. Thanks!

BTW, what's the price? It's not mentioned on the web page.

Here are your before/after pictures:

I've got a little solution for you ;)

Leather E-Brake boots, custom made in the US from genuine Italian Leather! Built to my design.

Installation takes 5 minutes and gives the interior a very nice "finished" look.

$35+shipping. Black leather with red, tan or black stitching in stock. 1 week turn around on custom colors.
