We are evaluating this product right now. If it is well made and holds up we will have it available on our site shortly (7-10 days).

Thanks!

Patent pending LOL, what does he think he will patent on that design?
"it also allows some hot air from the engine into the cabin"
clutching at straws for the sell I think.

The problem with that design (which is almost exactly the same as something I did 4 years ago) is that because of the movement of the handbrake lever in comparison to the carpet, the gaiter will look strange in 1 position depending on the cut of the fake leather.

If you have a standard leather gaiter, you can tuck it into that hole which will stop the "hot" air from the engine entering the cabin , then finish it off with a decorative surround that is held in place with velcro.




I'm sure there is someone on here that could make something like this out of Billet (or acrylic)

Thanks!
Update:

We evaluated the item and enjoyed our conversation with the manufacturer. Nice person.

However, based on cost and the overall design we decided to pass on this accessory and not offer it on our site. If anyone is interested in this item we suggest contacting the manufacturer directly.

Thank you...
Smart Madness
