My Last Two Leather Mods For My Black & Suzuka Blue Interior
For anyone following my interior transformation I just got the last two parts re-done in new leather to help match the other interior accent pieces. My car interior was fully black 6 months ago. Since then I've added blue suzuka oem seats, a black and blue leather elbowpad, a blue leather shiftboot, black and blue door card inserts, Moddiction shift knob with blue shift pattern numbers, and black floor mats with blue trim (I might have some blue floor mats on the way too).
I recently ordered a new steering wheel upgrade. My oem ap1 wheel was scuffed up from the previous owners who must have worn rings on their fingers, so I decided to get it recovered in new leather. We thickened up the wheel (huge improvement !), added a blue stripe at the top section, I went with black perforated leather on the two sides and solid leather on the top and bottom sections. The wheel feels great with the added thickness, leather is nice and soft yet looks like it will be durable. It is stitched in suzuka blue stitching (hard to see in the pictures but looks very nice in person). The oem wheel should have come this thick from the factory, it feels so much nicer in my large clumsy hands
.
For the oem sunvisors we wrapped them in black leather. We added a blue leather strap (which is functional), and embroidered the S2000 logo on the straps. The logo is visible from the interior with the straps in the up position, and visible from the outside with the visors in the down position. Hand stitched in suzuka blue stitching. Mirror cutout done on passenger side.
Aside from a change in floor mats this interior is done like dinner !. It's now time to enjoy it. All leather upgrades came from JPM Coachworks in Temple GA. I've had a very positive experience dealing with Joe from JPM Coachworks, great customer service, and very nice work IMO.

Pics are posted below, the last two pics are hard to see due to lighting, best I could get given the conditions. I previously posted pics of my other interior leather upgrades in previous posts, if anyone wants to see them just let me know and I can add them below as well. Enjoy:
