too bad we can't get Aaron to make the mirror covers in all colors to match the boots I have a black set and they are great
Funny you should mention colored mirror covers. I called Aaron, and he indicated they weren't made in any other color. However, I poked around the web a bit, and there are some folks who will make colored mirror covers to match your body....but none for the t-bird. Someone told me that the t-bird mirrors were the same ones used on the 02-04 Tauruses, and that mirror covers for them would fit. There are some colored ones out there for them. I will try to find the link to those for you.
Also, having a red bird (with now a white top), I did not want a black standard car bra...so I am going to order a red car bra from another place who makes custom colored bras to match your car (for about $300.00). The link is:
As for colored boots, I took the black boot I bought from Aaron to my mother-in-law, who is an interior decorator and seamstress. She said it would be very easy to make a custom boot identical to the black one, in any color I liked. So I am going to get a red one and a white one. I just have to match a sample of the material to the car color I want.
Rredbrd try this to clean that stain off the boot Get a spray bottle with clear water wet it down good then get some SPRAY N WASH for laundry spray on a generous amount and scrub gently with a medium scrub brush till stain is gone spray again with clear water then get a bucket of clear water and a soft towel and blot the soap off the boot when you are satisfied the soap is out spray again generously with clear water (whole boot) and park car in the sun for the boot to dry not only will it dry but it will pull nice and tight (the Fabric)
Then post another picture If this is truly the PCR boot I am interested at first I thought it was black from the picture Also are all the snaps in excellent shape I have seen many boots with snaps pulling through the fabric Please check them
black
light ash on PCR
light stone on cashmere
sand was optional on black, merlot, bronze, and red depending on year.
Were these colors the same for soft tops?...I'm asking this because I've always found that the original black soft top creates a big contrast against my '02's "thunderbird blue" color ...and I wonder how my car would look with a PCR ash soft top?...

Yes, the soft tops match the boots. In my humble opinion a PCR top would not look at all good on an 02 Thunderbird Blue.

Gotta love that American Ride
If someone who's good with computers could post a "Photoshop" picture of an '02 "Thunderbird Blue" 'Bird with an "ash" (PCR) and a "sand" top (Cashmere) or even a "tan" (Merlot) soft tops, it would be great!...not sure which color is "light stone" though...
