Here's a pic of the shift boot. It turned out really well.

Thanks man. I also bought a shift boot from them that I've yet to install.
Angelos has my elbowpad and e-brake to re-cover, I'll see how it turns out when they get it done, it will be their first shot at doing these parts on our cars, to add their services to their website.

Looking forward to seeing this. Are they going to replace the leather on the ebrake?

I had a spare e-brake assembly in oem form, I am having it covered in black alacantara with blue stitching accent to match the stitch on my other parts.

The elbowpad will be black perforated leather sides, with black alacantara center, blue double stitch, and an S2000 logo in blue stitch.

I really want to order a Guardian wheel for my CR, but with our crappy $CAN right now the exchange rate just makes it impossible to pull the trigger.
Someday......

Yeah I can understand that, but unfortunately we have no other options, every supplier of wheels will be in US dollars. I can honestly say it is my favourite mod that feels so nice under my paws, it is hard to put a price on the satisfaction a part like this brings. You would have loved it on that Dragon run

Joey stop tempting me!!!!
That was really the only thing I was going to upgrade in my car over the winter, besides my intake mod.
I want to do it, but wow our dollar sucks!
I'll think about it.
You happy with the M3 thickness?

Yeah for me the thicker the better, for some reason a thick wheel feels better in my clumsy hands. My last wheel was thicker than stock, I would say it was closer to the competition thickness that Guardian offers. That wheel definitely felt better than stock (Darcy liked it), but I think the M3 thickness feels even better. It is a personal choice though. I told them not to go crazy on the size of the thumbrests on mine as they didn't need to be overly thick, but the rest of the wheel was, and I think it is perfect for my tastes.

The dollar is what it is, no sense worrying about it, I think it is going to get worse later in the year, probably like just before I head off for summer holidays, lol. Enjoy life while you can even if it costs a bit more.

I think it would look very cool with your interior. The enjoyment that comes from a nice wheel is something you appreciate on every drive.

I almost wish that I could have done an alacantara wheel, but they seem to wear faster or need frequent cleaning from sweaty palms ( unless I wear gloves all the time). I love the look of them though.
