I installed one (a couple of minutes installation time) on my 1980 DL wagon. I love it. Had just installed a new rubber boot, kind of a shame to cover it up, but the black leather cover looks even better. Give the leather a cleaning and treatment before you put it on. My car is a DL, tan upholstery and door panels, black kick panels, center console. I also put good quality sheepskin seat covers on, for comfort and to hide the getting to be a little bit ratty driver's seat. I would say go back and pick up that shifter boot!
