LEG MOTORSPORT Leather Gearboot Surround (Red Stitch) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Genuine leather and red contrast stitching refresh the shift area, matching the look of factory RS and Spirit R trim without modification.

$150

This RX8 leather gearboot surround replaces the original shift-area trim with a genuine leather-wrapped surround and red contrast stitching. It suits any Series 1 or Series 2 owner whose factory trim has worn, cracked or no longer matches a refreshed cabin.

The design mirrors the leather and red-stitch finish found on factory RS and Spirit R variants. It attaches directly to the original plastic mounting rim and drops into the standard console opening without modification.

LEG MOTORSPORT RX8 Leather Gearboot Surround Features

  • Genuine leather surface replaces the standard plastic-feel trim. The material looks and feels noticeably better on every gear change.
  • The red contrast stitching creates a deliberate cabin colour accent. It pairs naturally with other red-detail interior pieces for a coordinated look.
  • Retaining the factory rim means no console modification is needed. The leather gearboot fit stays neat and the standard mounting point intact.
  • Series 1 and 2 compatibility covers all Mazda RX8 production years from 2003 to 2012. That makes it a straightforward fit across the entire model range.
  • Finally, it delivers an immediate visual improvement to one of the most frequently seen and touched areas of the RX8 cabin.

For RX8 enthusiasts, the payoff is felt on every drive. The leather surface is warmer and more inviting than ageing original trim.

The red stitch detail pulls the console together when paired with a matching gearknob or sliding panel. It completes a themed interior build without a complicated installation.

A natural companion is the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch). The Nappa leather and matching stitch colour create a seamless handshake between gearknob and this RX8 leather gearboot surround. The GENUINE MAZDA OEM Leather Gear Shifter Boot Surround is the factory-correct alternative if a standard OEM finish is preferred.
