Nice ZR1! I like it in red! Too bad it still not available in DCT or automatic. I would buy one if and when it comes into being.

that's a great audio install, but what do you do with the Battery, on the ZR1 it's located in the back right compartment, seems to be some MDF and fiberglass coveing that area. is there a trap door or easy removal of the panel?

I didn't do the stereo install, I will be wrapping it all in leather. There are two batteries in the back and I feel sorry for whoever need to get to them. I will post some pictures this weekend with some interior parts in the car.

cool, yeah i know you didn't do the stereo, was just curious how they will manage it. seems to be a lot of stuff they will have to remove to get to them, once you cover them it will be even more difficult unless they give an access point.

Hey John, did you get my PM about adding a gear ****/boot and brake boot/handle to my order?

I'm moving back to Toronto in a couple weeks.
You need someone to sweep the floors.

Oh, and I am a great sales guy.

P.S. Great work as always. The stitching is one of the things that makes your product and service stand out from the others, Beautifull!

Interesting that the door opener bezels were left silver.

Overall that looks awesome as always - waiting for final pics. It looks simply delicious.

Hey john,

that stitching pattern on the dash, is that a relief for the airbag to break through?

the headliner on this looks fantastic, man, i wished i lived closer so i could get the full treatment like this...

Yes it is, nothing a trucking company can't take care of. It would be here in know time.

that's a good idea, i didn't know i could do that, i still haven't told her what i bought from you yet, so let me see her reaction once those items get installed, i think she will go for it once she sees how great of an upgrade it is with just the seats and wheel. woo hoo..
