Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Going in to fix my bad emergency brake switch. Thinking I might as well replace shift boot while I’m in there. I see 4 versions on Pelican Parts. What boot do you guys recommend! Pelican or elsewhere.

POST 2Original post

I ordered a custom set from Redline Goods. High quality materials and fit perfectly. They offer for many options for customization, too.

POST 3Original post

I reached out to them with an inquiry for a custom boot for the 98 Tiptronic shifting assembly. If by custom you mean diferent colored leather... different stitching... etc. Sure. If you mean custom in the truest sense of the word... not so much.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Found original looking knob and boot on Pelican and will go with that. Thanks!

POST 5Original post

I bought a center console lid cover for my 2005 Mercedes C230 from this seller: https://www.ebay.com/str/jfcustoms I bought the center console lid cover for my Boxster from Redline. I liked the results: http://986forum.com/forums/diy-project-guides/82431-reupholster-center-armrest-leather.html If you found something you like on Pelican, that's great. We should all consider Pelican first because they sponsor the forum.

Quotes source post: 648261

I see my console lid is broken - but it's the hinge on the console side not lid. Does the kit have option for my case?

POST 7Original post

http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/35637-broken-oddments-tray-hinge.html I think Pelican sells the repair kit.

POST 8Original post

I can vouch for Redline Goods. I got the shifter, parking brake, and a custom steering wheel. Well worth it.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
