No one seems to offer the correct vinyl boot cover with their carpet sets.
Thanks,

Jim,

The boots came with the new wiring loom I purchased from Lionel Velez <lionel.velez@gmail.com>. Maybe he could sell you just the boots?

The red carpet set you see, except the rear center piece) came with the car. I had the rear piece made (I didn't like the pre-fit of the one that came with the car) from a piece of extra carpet that also came in the deal. I had my upholstery guy, Andy at Larry's Upholstery make new the two center pieces, but I didn't like the fit of the front section (the boot was too large. I had a new section made because I didn't think the one I had would fit well; but it ended up perfect. I also got the same bulk material for under and behind the seats, and he of course upholstered the seats and side panels.I would look around at your local upholstery shops for the correct material.

Good luck,
