Default Nice day so I took some more pics of interior

I know, they have been shown already, but I went to a professional installer and I want to show just how well these seats fit. There is a big difference when done correctly! Also I put some bling on for the upcoming show!









the bling..


You would never think that these are the original seats!
Only thing left that I will do to the interior is the center console (which is ordered )...

...and yes Matt, still have the "grandma" plastic protectors on my mat's

Very nice! The black on the seats looks like suede, what exactly is it? I'll bet it's comfy

Thanks
When I had Apsis install, I wasn't happy. They did not look right. Which is no fault of Apsis. They are not installers. After the professional install the seats came alive. These pics don't do justice. I tried to capture the detail, but I am not a professional photographer. All the "bars " now stand out so well. The headrest too. Even the side bolsters look "fuller". Apsis does great work. I am very pleased with the outcome.

I have Apsis's new Alcantara on the seats. It is solid on top, perforated in the middle (so it can breathed) and again solid on the last bar. It is really fantastic stuff! very comfortable The pics don't do the leather color justice. It looks more 'white' in the pics. It is actually Titanium. Looks real 'soft' against the silver of the car. It is like driving a totally different car now

Default Looks good

I have done upholstery on collector cars for the last 25 years. I have very seldom seen ready made seat covers that looked good. Yours look GOOD. Most are full of wrinkles and pulls and look like crap, at least to me. Yours look the way they should look. Give your installer a kiss.

Alot! you should get in touch with APSIS for a price list. On the average you have to figure about 1g a seat.
