Well, I wouldn't go with the stitching on the arm rests, your elbow will be right on the stitching. With that said, I bought the center console cover from that seller and can recommend them. The leather is decent quality and I got matching leather for the door armrests. Easy to do with some contact cement. The hardest part is getting the springs back on the door armrests, but not that difficult! I say do what you want, worst case, you don't like it and put on plain leather.

Looks good to me JD. Why would anyone want different color stiching??

When I finally get around to this project I want some high density foam padding under the leather for my elbows.

The D-mobile came through with yellow stitching on the seats, door panels ect.. I'm guessing there are others who opted for the stitching in various colors as well.

I meant why would anyone want a color other than Yellow??

Deviated stitching option is nice.

I had planed to use Alcantara on my door lids but the way my GT3 shift knob is wearing I think I better stay with smooth leather.

I forgot that you had the full deviated option (and your car too!) If it matches the rest of the stitching throughout then it integrates visually and reads more like tasteful cuff links than a gold grenade-shaped earring, so I retract my objection to your deviation.
But my other points stand. My guidance is worth at least three times what you paid for it. And BTW Nobody gets my approval. But you've done ok without it so far. Just remember that for an agent as well as a nation, sometimes restraint is the stronger gesture.
Peace and high revs
