Shift boot for 5sp

I've looked online for a replacement shift boot for my 08 SS 5 sp, and am only finding 'universal fit' versions.

Has anyone here seen any for sale recently?

If it comes down to it, I could probably make one. But I'd rather not.

Have you checked the local auto recyling centers (junkyards).
There you can learn how to remove which also helps with installation.
OR, you can send Hellshotrod (Dave) a private message.
He is our resident parts man.

Two good suggestions - thanks!

I wouldn't bother with a junkyard boot. Those would be the same cheap, fake leather boot as you have now. The ones in the junkyards probably have the black cover "peeling" like most of the OEM ones.
There are several companies that used to make them for the SS. I think one was called Redline or something like that.

Thanks a lot guys!

After seeing the custom shift boots and steering wheel wraps I have to have some.

Now I have to spend MORE money on my SSs! :)
