Price reduction on the carbon boots. the up charge will be 10.00 per unit. The material costs more and they look awesome in the car.------------------

I have been trying new things to make them look right. I am still working on them though. I have bought a new machine to see if that will help out as well. I dont want to ship them till I am 100% with them on there looks and function. I just need to get the elastic part right on them. ------------------

I am so close on this I hope to have a solution today. I got some much needed photos of a few things to make this work out the way that I need to. I never thought that these would be so hard to make but there is an issue with them that make them very hard to complete on the bottom. I will post some examples of the completed ones today I hope. I will make a bunch to take bare of everybody. they will be available in many colors like the others and in carbon fiber style as well.
Thank you for the waiting on thisIP: Logged |

now available. I can do snake skin boots and Baby Ostrich skin boots in Faux Leather . Yes they cost more so please PM me for more info. They are cool units. I am also working on floor mats for indys at this time as well.
I am looking for a tester for an auto elastic boot. You will need to send me some photos and let me know the feel. This is a prototype unit so it is not 100% in my eye but looks great still. Please ME me if you are intrested in helping out.
Headliner Material is now available. My kit comes with the adhesive as well. PM for more info.

Hey Fiero Thomas,
Just wondering if you found somebody to try out your boot for an automatic w/ Elastic band. I may be able to get to my Fiero this week or next week, so if you still want to send me one I can post pics for you.------------------
So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,

At this time I can not. I am working on it though. The People that make the software for font on these machines I use are very expensive. It will cost me ???.?? to add this one font to there line up. Its hard to explain but each font cost funds to use even if you have it already. The software will not let you run it. There are only two company's that make this kind of software and they are booth he same. In the future I do see being abole to do this. I at this time have a few fonts that I can use. The one in the photo abv I was just fooling with but I have other nice ones that I have been using for customers at this time. I hope in the future that I can use this font as it will only make sense. I am trying to find away around it at this time as doing it as a photo but we will see.[This message has been edited by Fiero Thomas (edited 01-05-2008).] IP: Logged |

Installed the boot today. WOW! It looks and works great. Honestly, Tom I don't think I would change this one. It fits perfect b/c it is a bit larger than the stock one so it doesn't bunch all up around the shifter surround. It fits nearly the same as the stock boot, but I think the stock boot fits a little tighter. The leather boot goes on and pops off easier but it doesn't move around like its loose. I love it. I highly reccomend your products! Thanks Tom. Tyler
One of my dirty car. Drove for the first time in 3 months!

Just got this through a non pff member. Though I would post to help people choose my boots. Made me feel great to get this responce to my boots
Tom,
Got them last night- LOVE the material- it looks so much better than the cheap stuff the factory installed it's not even comparable! I'd rather have your unit than the factory piece hands down- nice quality overall and much better material.
Thanks for providing this sort of item for the Fiero.

Actually Tom, I AM a PFF member!
And no kidding everyone- the material he is using (specifically the synthetic leather) is simply head and shoulders above the look of the OEM boots. It looks much like real leather and the stitching is very nice too. The boots Tom is selling put the original shiny vinyl OEM boots to shame in my opinion, and seriously upgrade the look of the interior in a nice Fiero- no more crappy looking shiny black boot!
In fact, the material Tom has found looks virtually identical the the boot in my 2004 Mazda 6 Wagon (yes, manual trans with V6 for anyone wondering). Very nice indeed.
Thanks Tom!
