Yeah, thanks for being the "shop foreman"! You did most of the really hard work!

On another note, sometimes the black Alcantara looks gray in the pics. You really have to see the material in person to appreciate it.

In case some of you don't know, Alcantara is like a synthetic ultra suede. It has a really nice feel and texture to it. Used to be a material upgrade for Lambos and Aston Martins, and has since filtered its way down to BMWs, high-end Audis, . . . I'm pretty sure Infinity uses it sparsely in the seats, and Lexus might be using it in the seats now too.

In either case, the stuff aint cheap. About $100+ per yard

i like the seats alot, everything else is kinda overkill, besides maybe the door panels. but i dont like the material for the doors or the dash. Otherwise pretty cool.

I would rather have a black carpet than dash.

I thought about black carpeting, but I don't LOOK AT the carpeting all the time. I see the dash as much as I see the road. The blue dash was a bit too obnoxious to me, so I went with that. Keeping the blue carpeting brightened the interior a bit more than if I went with a solid black, and if I went with both the black dash and black carpeting, then it might have overwhelmed the blue in the car. But it certainly is something to think about.

First of all, I'm not the best when it comes to interior photos. In fact, I probably suck at taking interior photos. But here's what I got. I took some close ups to show the stitching and the texture of the Alcantara. I don't know if I should try and experiment with different picture/lighting positions. Any tips would be appreciated
