JoshP5 when you bought your redline boot what were the specs in order to get the correct one?

Well, I actually found the MSP lever a bit too short, so I had it extended 1.5". I selected a black faux-alcantara boot with black stitching that's 1.8" shorter than stock. Results:

that matches the seat material so well!

Yeah that worked out surprisingly well! :)

Is the MSP even shorter than B&M and other aftermarkets too then? That looks really sharp Josh. I think I'm going to get some silver stitching to match the console silver with black perforated leather to match my seats and maybe 2 inches shorter.

The throw on the MSP shifter isn't as short as on the aftermarket short throw shifters, but the shifter height is really low. They did this because that way they could keep the stock exhaust heat shield that sits between the shift lever and the midpipe.
