GB: 20% off leather boots by Redline Goods (5+ buyers)

[gamiller]

If your car has seen as many miles as mine, it's probably ready for a face lift. :) Offering leather boots with an OEM fit for your shifter and hand brake, Redline Goods has served over 7000 customers, some of whom are NECO members. There are many colors (http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.shtm) from which to choose, including two-toned combinations with your choice of thread color. See below for examples.

What I'm offering through this GB is 20% off your total order, regardless of what you order, if we can get 10 orders.

Boots for shifter & hand brake AND armrest cover: $110 - 20% = $88
Boots for shifter & hand brake: $70 - 20% = $56
Boot for shifter (only): $50 - 20% = $40
Boot for hand brake (only): $50 - 20% = $40
Armrest cover (only): $60 - 20% = $48

Shipping is a flat $9 since this product is imported from Europe.

Making Payment
I prefer Paypal but will accept personal checks and/or Money Orders if I get them before the deadline. If using Paypal:

Send to gamiller@vt.edu
Choose "Goods"
Tell me your NECO name

[gamiller]

Here's how they describe their product:


OUR LEATHER is top grade Italian calfskin leather. It is much thicker (1mm, .04 inch - VERY thick) than the stock vinyl, which makes them form very nicely.

Our leather (right) vs OEM vinyl (left):

Underside of our leather (top) vs. Underside of OEM vinyl (bottom):

OUR STITCHING is double (most other makers use single stitching). It's more durable than single stitching because there are more rows of stitching holding the leather together.

I can vouch for Redline Goods being awesome (and they got their armrest pattern from my armrest taking a little trip over to Poland for a week or so ;))

This is going in my car to match my XR seats! :cool:

[JScullin]

They have a light blue that matches LSB perfectly. Mine came out nice.

[fordrule]

do they have one that matches laser red. that color that matches the xr is a little too red

[canadiancougar]

Do these come with the plastic trim pieces that clip the boots into place, or is this just for the leather?

[Mike]

I'm in. I want black boots with light grey (or silver... something to match my grey leather seats) stitching. Shift and e-brake boots.

If possible, i'd like to combine shipping with the Autovation pedals.

[gamiller]

do they have one that matches laser red. that color that matches the xr is a little too red

I'll ask them about that. Surprisingly, there is only one red shown on the web page.

Do these come with the plastic trim pieces that clip the boots into place, or is this just for the leather?

These do not come with replacement frames, so you need to attach them to your existing frame.

[KUGAKRAZY]

Put me on the list as a definite. When will you need the color choice and payment?

[MaverickFlyer]

I'll take Boots for shifter & hand brake AND armrest cover.

[Dero]

i would be interested in the extra material for the door panels for sure

[99cougarsupreme]

This is going in my car to match my XR seats! :cool:

http://www.redlinegoods.com/varia/perfredbig-2.jpg

Hey
I want in!! But can they make the shift boot and the ebrake the same style?!
i mean in this pic you have the ebrake (black and red with stripe!) and I would like the shift boot black with a red stripe not like the one shown in the pic!
And I want the armrest the same as in the pic. (with red stitching)

Please let me know

Will

[canadiancougar]

I'm deffinitly in for all 3.

[kpeeks]

Boots for shifter & hand brake.
I'm possibly interested in the door panel material...depending on cost.

[Lunar Limelight]

Is it at all possible to do either bright/hot pink or purple stitching?

Will, that photo just shows the variety of what they can do. If you request "stripes" on your order, your boots will look like those in the picture below, except with your color choices:

[gamiller]

Looks to me like the closest matching color is "Burgundy" thread.

If you don't see the color you want, please ask them (info@redlinegoods.com) if they can get it, and how to choose it on the order form. Thanks!

[MaverickFlyer]

So how does this GB work, how do we pick colors and where do we send the money?

This one? I think that may be charcoal rather than black. The knob is black.

[99cougarsupreme]

Well I want the boots in that design (red stitches) but in black (instead of charcoal)!

Thanks

Will, that would look hot with this knob! It's a Focus ST knob. I think it's also available with black stitching. I can get them for $35/each.

So when and where do we send the money? How long until they are shipped out?

[gamiller]

Unless it's a problem, I'd like to let this another week. I haven't had my questions answered by Redline yet.

Primary color: Black

[gamiller]

UPDATE: Shipping & Payment Info
I will ship to Canada and Europe as well as within the U.S. I am offering two options: Priority Mail and First Class Mail. Priority Mail includes insurance, package tracking, and expedited delivery. First Class Mail is much cheaper but offers none of the services just mentioned. I will not be held responsible for packages lost or damaged in the mail.

Pricing for First Class Mail:

USA = $2.50
Canada = $5
UK = $10

Pricing for Priority Mail:

USA = $5
Canada = $17
UK = $24


Making Payment
I prefer Paypal but will accept personal checks and/or Money Orders if you PM me to say so. I will not place your order until payment goes through. If using Paypal:

Send to gamiller@vt.edu
Choose "Goods"
Tell me your NECO name
Tell me what shipping method you chose

[gamiller]

To help with selecting the proper color:
I have been told that 01+ consoles are "black." On earlier consoles, there are two shades of gray. The darker one is "charcoal" and the lighter one is "medium gray."

Personally, I am having a tough time between choosing black (to match the shift knob and brake handle and steering wheel) and choosing charcoal (to match the console and the seat bolsters). Time for Photoshop!

[gamiller]

Lastly, to help with getting the right fit:

If you do not have an armrest, let me know if your handbrake looks different from the one in the picture.

If you do have an armrest, let me know if your handbrake looks different from the one in the picture.

[gamiller]

Joe, if you think "Red" does not have enough blue in it, consider "Burgundy" stitching.

Doc, they don't have an exact match for Laser Red. See the pic above for Burgundy and previous pics for Red.

[gamiller]

For Silver Frost, I recommend Light Gray stitching, but Silver stitching looks best with chrome accents:

okay, yeah, they only seem to check email once a day. i will send them a reminder. thanks for payment!

[Lunar Limelight]

Any idea when these will get shipped out? Just wondering.

[gamiller]

Any idea when these will get shipped out? Just wondering.

Redline says it will take about 6 days to get me the items, and I will ship them the day after I get them. Unless it's Sunday.

For that reason, I'd like to submit all orders by Friday. Let me see if they will let me submit five at a time or something.

[gamiller]

Ladies and gents, please send payment if you have not already done so. I'd like to place the order soon since it will take 8-12 days for these to arrive at my door.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

I just got the invoice for the group buy today and the shipping charge is double what I estimated. :facepalm: I thought Redline could ship everything in one box to me, but that assumption was mistaken. The upside of this is that you will get your items even faster because they are coming directly from the manufacturer instead of through me. Because everything is being shipped straight from Europe, shipping is $10/order for each U.S. customer. Canadians have already paid enough to cover international shipping.

If you are outside the USA, you already paid me enough.
If you are inside the USA...
...and you paid $5 for shipping, please send another $5
...and you paid $3.50 for shipping, please send another $6.50
...and you paid $2.50 for shipping, please send another $7.50

Again, I apologize for the miscalculation. Your prompt payment ensures rapid processing of your order. Thanks everyone!

[Lunar Limelight]

Done :)

[gamiller]

Muchas gracias, Senorita. ;)

Thanks, all! I got the following message last night:

Hello!

Gary everything seems to be fine. I'll contact you if we have further questions, meanwhile we'll get to work ASAP. It might take up to 5 business days for your order to be shipped, although usually we ship on the same day. We will send you another email once the order has been shipped.

Thank you and have a great day,

[MaverickFlyer]

What are the chances I'll get mine before next Thursday? :confused:

[gamiller]

What are the chances I'll get mine before next Thursday? :confused:

I would say chances are good. Maciek thinks they will be done making them today and put them in the mail today, so it's just a matter of how long it takes priority mail to reach you from Poland. I will post here again when told that the shipment has left the factory.

[gamiller]

I got word this morning that everything has been shipped out. Please let me know when your items arrive!

[KUGAKRAZY]

I got mine in this morning, then I got it in the car! Everything looks great, but I do have issues with fitting it around my shift knob. The boot seems slightly too big. I do have an aftermarket knob and a short throw so this issue might me just on my car.

Either way, this is the more high quality item in my car right now. The stitches are PERFECT and the leather rivals that of my Wilsons jacket. Amazing product and it got here with the speed of quickness haha, 9.5/10.

[Lunar Limelight]

Got mine this morning. They look amazing but I went to put on the armrest cover and its way too small. :(

[canadiancougar]

Mine came in today aswell, and look amazing!!!! The leather feals super strong and the stitching looks great on all 3 pices!! I'll have to wait a few days to test fit this stuff but it should be good. Thanks for the hook-up Gary.:)

[gamiller]

Got mine this morning. They look amazing but I went to put on the armrest cover and its way too small. :(

You sure? It's supposed to fit snug. I had to stretch mine tight to get it on. Take a pic if you can both from the top and the underside of the armrest. Also, measure your armrest dimensions so that we can make sure you're armrest is no bigger than mine. Thanks.

[99cougarsupreme]

Got my today!!! Look great!!! Thanks for your patience Gamiller!!!

[gamiller]

Everything looks great, but I do have issues with fitting it around my shift knob. The boot seems slightly too big.

I noticed that the elastic is not as tight on some boots as others. You can use a thin, black zip-tie to cinch up the top of the boot so that it's snug around the shift knob.

[MaverickFlyer]

I noticed that the elastic is not as tight on some boots as others. You can use a thin, black zip-tie to cinch up the top of the boot so that it's snug around the shift knob.

That's what I have always done. Still waiting for mine. :(

Sounds like a plan Stan! Thanks again for the hookups.

[MaverickFlyer]

I got mine, I put on the armrest but the other two will have to wait till next weekend.

Now I just need a group buy on leather seat covers to match. :biggrin:

[gamiller]

Glad to hear that, Maverick!

Is anybody still waiting for their order to arrive?

[Mike]

Got my stuff today. The armrest looks like it won't fit... but i'll find out for sure as soon as I try it on.

Well i'll be damned... it fit! :biggrin:

Looks fantastic. I can't wait to get the shift/e-brake boots on.

[Mels-cat]

I finally got to see my pedals and boots. They were being held hostage by my signifcant other who spoke very highly of the products. they were picked up in Detroit about 1 week ago. They look great!!! Thanks Again!! pleasure working with you Gamiller.

They take a bit of muscle to put on but they do fit. I kinda wish mine was even tighter as it has a few wrinkles on the sides. But the top looks fantastic. ;)

[gamiller]

Excellent. :cool:

Mel, be sure to post pics of your ATX with the pedals and boots in the vids & pics forum. It's truly one-of-a-kind!

[Mels-cat]

Will do...once I get around to having them put in. :)

[gamiller]

Everyone, I posted a thread in transaction feedback (http://www.newcougar.org/forums/transaction-feedback/127022-group-buyers.html) should anyone care to leave comments about this group buy. If there's an issue with your order that you haven't already reported to me, please bring it to my attention so we can get it resolved. Thanks!

[gamiller]

I've received a couple of inquiries, so I asked Redline Goods about keeping the GB open. They said that they will honor the GB prices if we get 5 buyers.

As for future customers (starting with this one)... There has to be a reward for having taken part in the group buy. If you round up another 5 "later comers" we can offer them the same pricing as the GB customers, but not to just one person. Agreed?
