Martin, I think your interior could be jazzed up with some Rev Limiter retro flip switches.

Absolutely!

I'm really digging this thing. It came fully assembled, so install was a breeze.

Great product RoadsterTech! Thank you, Rick!

You are welcome. I'm glad it went in well.
Now that you have the plate, If you were to do this over would you go with the patterned finish or go with the Matte finish?
Is there anything we can do to make the product better?
On a side note, do you mind if I use your picture in my website?

[—Martin—]

Based on the pictures I'd agree with you that the matte finish matches to tombstone more closely. But this finish looks really good in direct sunlight. It kind of sparkles I prefer the patterned finish.

Yes, you may use any picture you like.

On a side note, the patterned finish is actually more resilient than the matte as well.

New upholstery!



Color matches fairly well:



Colin, my 12-year-old did most of the work





Plenty of wrinkles. Just ain't care!



A few more terrible pics here: http://s1249.photobucket.com/user/Ma...?sort=3&page=1

We only did the driver's seat so far. 3 young boys around the house keep me very busy.

On a side note, Jason, my 11-year-old, made two 3-point shots and scored the winning baskets (2 free throws) for his basketball team Saturday morning. We went to the Bentonville HS game Friday evening and I think he was inspired by Malik Monk's last second 3-pointer.

I like it!! I think it is pretty cool you have your son helping you out, once my boys get old enough I want to get them to help me build and Mod a Miata.
I always wanted to work on projects with my pops growing up but he was always too busy with work.

Nice to have helpers and athletic talent in the household. Congratulations on your son's success. I like the stitching pattern on the lower seats. With basketball players in the family, those tall back NB seats are going to come in real handy.

Good work Martin and Sons!!!!!!!!!

Good work! My 15 y.o. is also enjoying our build and he already place a dibs on the LE project lol.

Looks great and congrats to your son!!!

Lookin good. I like them more with the solid red.

[—Martin—]

Thanks guys!

Those red & black slip-on covers were always supposed to be temporary. You'll see them for sale as soon as the passenger seat is done.

New upholstery!

Plenty of wrinkles. Just ain't care!

Looks pretty good, Martin. A steamer may help with the wrinkles. Where did you get these covers? I may look into getting a set.

The seller is exotikleather on ebay, talked about in the first post here:

Normal price is $325 for leather. I received a discount because they didn't have a pattern for 2001-2005 seats. I had to send them my original upholstery
