I agree. I would be happy to keep the stock ring/boot exactly the way it is, in case I ever sell the car down the road. Are there any vendors who can sell them?

I haven't heard of one. I'd really hate to butcher it and not be able to reuse but I guess since I already removed the stock knob, the point is somewhat moot as long as the job is done well on getting a new boot to work on the oem ring.

Yeah, makes sense. I figure with the X-Acto knife I can take my time just cutting away as much of the glue between the leather and the ring, and just hope that suffices. If there was a part number that I can find (haven't had any luck, unless I am not searching correctly), I would buy it!

From your pictures, your nappa leather seems to have more "grain" than stock. how do you compare with stock? Looks pretty close? Sorry for too many questions but I'm seriously considering as it's alot cheaper option that IND's full combo set.

As I cut my stock knob off already (for Leather Z ZHP knob), I don't mind taking my original ring out but I just want to make sure it's not complicated and looks good as new after reusing it.

I did mine with LeatherZ's alcantara tri stitch. Removing the boot was fairly challenging. I used a combination of exacto knife and butter knife. Then I used goo-gone to get the adhesive and remnants of the leather off. I used rubber cement type adhesive to apply the new boots to the rings (can't think of the name of it now). Half way through the process, I started thinking it was worth it for the rings. I'm sure you could get rings from once of the OEM vendors.

No problem. Been very busy with work and family, didn't have time to install this past weekend. I am on vacation for a few days next week and will definitely do it then. Gonna post the new pictures on the first page/OP of this thread.
