    Hey that looks cool, well done :clap:

    You can clearly see they're new and I like the way you've made the gear lever boot come up higher to the underside of the gear knob Click here to enlarge

    I've also done a similar thing to my vert, but I've used red leather to match the rest of the interior, looks fantastic Click here to enlarge

    got them off ebay for 30 bucks

    removed the bit between the handbrake and gearshifter. (leaver from the gearshifter towards the handbrake) then remove two screws from the gear shifter saround and lift it off. to remove handbrake gator just squeeze the edges of the saround that the leather is stapled too and it pops out.

    on the gear shifter you will see when u remove the old vynal cover how it was stuck in...replace with new one... easy as pie. and i juts glued the handbrake one on worked perfectly

    and yes i am keeping the stock stereo. good enuff for me.

    I have the same ones, very easy to install. The guys very flexible to, will even custom colour them. I had mine made with Silver stitching.

    I have a heavy duty staple gun that i used to secure the handbreak one, but yea rubber / pvc glue should do the trick to.
