I think it looks much better covered in leather, I'd take leather over painted plastic any day. It seems to fit better than a big piece of silver on the door. Nice job!

Great job. Could you tell us how you did it? Maybe too much black, but what about a different color leather? Grey, or maybe that other fabric...Alcantra?

I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking of trying cinnamon leather (kind of a dark burnt orange) or a dark red. I also have some synthetic suede lying around somewhere (similar to Alcantra) I should try.

Hmmm...maybe it's time to go out and get some more leather...

Just teasing. Nice work. And a big improvement, too, no?

Wow. I like yours better. My leather has too much texture to it. I also love the yellow stitching.

Do you have any more picture of your interior and the roll bars?

Not really, but I can go take some. Stay tuned.

Thanks... the car has some interesting factory options. I do like the full leather and deviated stitching.
