Love the look and the added dirt protection of the leather boot. All in all how much were the parts including the harness?
About $180 before shipping. The harness was another $17, but I'll update this once I know for sure the harness works. I had to go to a different Subaru parts site and go to the parts diagram specifically for the Limited and choose the part, which is how I confirmed the part numbers were the same but when I ordered it, the description said "w/boot". So we'll see. All parts I got below list price.Love the look and the added dirt protection of the leather boot. All in all how much were the parts including the harness?
Funny that you say that because I just spent 20 minutes this past weekend with a toothpick, picking out the grains of sand that get caught in that little crevice. Worked a car wash many moons ago and cup holders were always aggravating to clean.Agreed. The boot will definitely do a better job at keeping dirt out.
Also noticed in the limiteds, the trim around the cup holder was a satin silver finish instead of black. That trim piece is about $25, not sure what the actual list price is. I happened to have some left over silver vinyl that was almost a dead on match ($2.49 at Hobby Lobby). Cheaper to wrap the piece than to buy it. Matches the trim around the center vents, shifter, and on the steering wheel. I guess this could be considered protective too? Haha
Shift Knob Disassembly:How does the shifter knob come apart to wrap it? I am trying to vinyl wrap the glossy part and can't seem to get a good finish on the edges with it still assembled. I can't tell how the silver and gloss black trim pieces come off and I don't want to break it. Any pointers would be much appreciated!
I also plan to wrap the shifter plate, but that looks straightforward to disassemble once removed.
