    My father in law got one from them. While the quality was good, the fit wasn't. Like the 348 pictured above. I too have the "paprika" leaking out. I'm just going to cut out the liner and continue using the boot.

    Yup...did the same thing Lou. And you know what? My boot fits even better now...no wrestling when trying to close all the snaps.

    This might be based o a 355 pattern. Not sure. I cheated a little by placing the rear most snaps a little off center to avoid the seams at the tips of the darts. Ferrari actually does this too but maybe a mm or two closer to the tip. Still, that doesn't account for the slack. It may shrink some and that's what I'm hoping for. Any tips on how to do this right? I may use saddle soap or conditioner. The leather is great quality and the construction is great too. It just needs a bit of fitting and I hope I haven't ruined it with my punch holes. It is very tight behind the seats as well and even the passenger side door top snap is tight. So some snaps are tight and some edges loose. That suggests a pattern issue. It is useable and I will do what I can to shrink the loose areas. The sun may do it for me!

    Looks great!

    I wonder if I could get one made with custom cutouts with speaker fabric stitched in behind the headrests. I built speakers to put in the pockets behind the headrests, but the boot cuts out a lot of the sound. If I can get a custom boot with cutouts, then I can keep my OEM boot packed away safely in case I ever have to sell the car and just use the custom boot.
