    Passenger seat is done. I put Colin to work Saturday afternoon. Free labor FTW.

    The temperature is never too low to drop the top, you just have to dress accordingly.

    Badass car BTW.

    Looks pretty darn good. The color matches well with the OEM red. The wrinkles are in the right places so it is okay. Say how would you rate the softness of the leather and how thick is it. They sent me a swatch of red but looks very light. Yours looks just perfect. What type of red did you order?

    Thanks all! I should have closed the driver's side door so you could see how closely they match the door panel.

    The paperwork that came with the leather just says maroon. What I did when I ordered them is send them the picture from the ebay ad and say "I want this color"

    The wrinkles don't bother me at all. I'm just glad I had free child labor

    For sure the more usage it would get those wrinkles will look normal they are in the right spots it actually makes the leather look soft plus with exposure to heat it may tighten up a bit. More pics with one door close under sunlight please?

    I have called these guys twice and left a message and they don't return a phone call.

    Oops, forgot to answer the softness question. I'd say it's pretty soft, softer than the OEM leather, but I don't think it's as thick as OEM. I hope it lasts!

    I only contacted them thru messages on ebay. They always got back to me but it seems not everyone is so lucky. I've read of others not getting a response. They seem very hit-or-miss in that area.

    Right even my email was not responded to but they sent me a couple of swatches of red. For the right price if they last as long as the OEM then you win. Nothing a regular use of a good leather conditioner can't handle. Really with red interior color match is top most. Their stitching is very good. Those seats tie-up very well with the OEM red interior IMO that is mission accomplish.

    Well looky what we have here...



    Top switch is the normal on/off hazard, bottom switch is a momentary switch that I will use for my horn. Yay!

    Adam also sent me a HVAC panel with red lighting that will match my Rosso gauge faces

    Yeah, that insert is awesome. Looks great!
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Probably shouldn't be taking a pic while driving, but I didn't want to miss this.
