Hey guys,
I posted this over in the 3rd gen appearance but was getting no feedback...was wondering if you guys could chime in.

I've been looking at getting something from RedlineGoods recently and am kinda torn on what setup to get. I own an MP3, so here is a pic of the interior for those don't know what it looks like:

and a picture of the knob (which is causing havoc on my decision): http://www.msprotege.com/members/promp3/4%20sale3.jpg

Here is a link to the colour chart from Redlinegoods: http://www.redlinegoods.com/clrchart.shtm
I want to get the shift boot and the e-brake boot and I have a few ideas:
1. Very simple all black leather with black thread.
2. Same as above but with perforated leather
3. All black leather (perforated or not), but with light grey stitching everywhere like this, in the 1st pictures: http://www.redlinegoods.com/Protege9903shiftboot.shtm, except in the front of the shifter where I would want it black so as to not clash with the other grey tone of the shifter. As well, undecided between double, triple or quadruple stitching, although I am leaning towards double.
4. Black leather (perforated or not), with light grey stripes (such as this: http://www.redlinegoods.com/Stripes.shtm), but again with no stripes on the front side of the shifter so as to not clash with the other tone on the knob.

I'm not sure if having 4 different tones of leather on the shifter boot/knob is ideal, and the light grey VS whatever grey the knob is could be distracting.
What do you guys think?

Hmm, our boots came from Shaundarbie, but Redline seems to make some good stuff. I personally would go w/ black leather and grey stitching, simple and clean.

Shaudarbie hasn't made these in a few years from what I can gather, but redline seems to have VERY nice products...I won't get them for a little while, but I'm looking forward to getting something from them.

Could be, we got them in '05. Be sure to post the pics of whatever you end up getting. :)

Personally, I'd go simple, Black with Black stitch. But to each their own. Even with the Gray stitching as stated would be good too. I've yet to be a fan of huge color contrast interiors.
