Looks good. I wondered if maybe the "top" section was going to fall a bit short of the shifter ball since the console was not fully seated/installed during the test fit. My hands are somewhat large so having the shifter boot top lower than the shifter ball would work fine for me. I may try to do this with my Mustang's shifter boot.

It was shorter than I expected, but fit OK when I tested it. I have since made another one out of black vinyl and Tartan piping at the seams. The new one is taller and sits just below the nut on the shaft.

Weird request, and i pray you read this. I am trying to take on the same project with some other leathery(ish) material i have, but without seam-ripping my current boot. Would you be able to accurately describe the sewing template/patch sizes of the blackandblue boot so i can cut them out? Above and beyond would be sending a photo of them layed out like you had with rulers on X and Y axis so i can copy your process. Any help is appreciated! Product looks great, reminds me of my old gti
