I got a piece of black leather and a piece of dark grey (matches the interior perfectly) and used the original boot as a template, but I used four panels rather than three, with two panels grey and the other two black. I got my mom to sew it for me when I was back in town (hey, you think I can sew??? ) and I installed it. It looks really slick IMO, but still classy-looking... none of that hey-look-at-me crap
