Yesterday I took Betty Boop for a short 200 mile trip. I got to admit the lousy looking boot
got to me, and this morning I took the console out, removed the boot, grabbed the OEM boot,
and drove to the custom upholstery shop.

I gave the owner both boots. Told him I wanted the big boot to be molded or cloned like the
OEM boot. He took my phone number, I left and he called within 20 minutes that it was ready
for pick up.

To my surprised he made a new boot, and said "this one is better material not this china sh*t;
Where did you buy this?"

I was very happy with the way it looked, drove home, and an hour ago I got busy with it.























It fits better, it looks better, and was CHEAPER. I'm not satisfied with the product nor customer service,
and I hope to get my money back from redlinegoods.com

The material does look way better than the one you ordered. Put these up on CF and shame those crooks.

Thats amazing Pete. It makes all the difference to have parts that are made right using good materials.

Way to go, Local Vendors! That new one is a world apart from Redline's abortion! In fact, I also think the new one looks better WITHOUT Redline's dopey, gay-looking red stitching...

I agree with duke-put that last before-and-after in your answering post to Redline if they screw you on a refund!

Gentlemen,

The cold weather is affecting few CF members. They already started their stupid fall/winter questions.

This one is very special. Notice how 99% of the pictures have the date on them.

Betty Boop's Interiors Make Over - Corvette Forum

This guy's concern is the temperature on the knob. A real winner...

Which reminds me, the extremely mice stupid question threads will do their annual come back soon. I bet some ignorant males have never seen mice poison, traps, know that cats actually catch mice, or do a damn search in the CF.

You're not kidding. I was just there and it's full of what size wiper blades do I need and what wax to buy.

Sounds like that one guy is just looking for a hot knob to play with

Fuc&ing losers. But Pete's right, as winter approaches the dumb-asses come out of the wood work

Check this out, two guys out of the CF wanted those shifter boots. One auto and one manual.

I took the old boot and the guy made one right away. Once I get the money I will mail it to the guy.



I checked with USPS, to mail this priority, prepaid is $5.30. Supplies are free, and the mailman comes by everybody's house daily. These vendors charge $10-$20 for shipping.

That is where most of these vendors make their money. Ever noticed those stupid TV ads where they throw in another product for free, but you must pay separate shipping and handling charges. WTF, nothing but a scam

It's an OBX. Looks like a Corsa, but the pipes are different. They are one in, it splits in two with a curve.

Popped Betty Boop's Cherry this morning with a small run, and ended up in breakfast in Del Mar.

Guys, notice how wide the other corvettes are compared to Pete's who is in the middle? I knew they were wider, but that pic says it all. Looks like perfect weather Pete - 70's looks like if you were in Del Mar.

Gentlemen,

May I take this opportunity to inform you that actually The Polack did refund me with my $59. I told him to enjoy my $59, I guess he thinks $59 fixes everything.
