So, you ordered the first 10, and are waiting for them to arrive so you can send them out to us? (Sorry for being so antsy, but I'm sure you understand. 
) Are you going to post when they go in the mail? Thanks in advance.
I'm not jumping up and down like Dannobre, but close.

Hey, I just had an idea. (Surprised me, too.) Can you make a similar leather boot for the e-brake? I've seen leather e-brake handle covers, but I'm talking about a boot around the base. It would replace the plastic part that always breaks in cold weather. I haven't looked at how it would attach, but I wonder if it's been done, and if you could design one to match our shift boots.

As for the leather parking brake I pretty sure mazda has already done this, did they change the stitching colors as well?

I don't think the parking brake have different stitching colours. I am interested as well if you decide to go for it but how? It goes around the handle very tightly.

I just looked closer at my e-brake during lunch, and I don't know how one would attach a leather boot to it. It looks like the whole handle would need to be changed. Any ideas?

Playa78,
sorry to steal your other thread.
But I love your **** and I think it will go great with the custom boot. The leather is good and if it is red, it will look even better than the red leather around it
PoLak,
I have not had a chance to take pic and the boot has been in for 2 weeks. It looks and feel great.
Only transmit more sounds from the tranny. I have the RP shifter and I know I have the whine but it seems to be more coming through. I guess it is because the foamy thing underneath the boot is not sitting as high as it used to be. I lift it up slightly and the noise is gone. May be it is my MazdaSpeed **** that pushing it further down. Where do I get similar material so that I can make myself a bigger foamy thingy ??

I ended up taking out the ugly green insulation stuff because it made it too thick, but the black foam stuff could be purchased in the US at like a Home Depot or a Lowes.

I tried to email the company, but it didn't work!
Polak - any way of getting something like this to match your boots?
