New Mods for my 2008....
 
Hi all,


I added some new mods to my 2008 Coupe. Some I created and did myself because they are not available for sale. Others I purchased. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks..

Steve

:cool:

Now you just have to get rid of the fake leather shift and E-brake boots.

The DSV boots will make a major difference inside.

The storage bag seems like a good idea

the e-brake handle looks great..............

:iagree: I recently switched to DSV's handles and boots and the boots are definitely first-rate.

Can I see pics of your seats. They appear to have ebony on edges and cashmere in center, correct? Where did you get them? Are those factory or aftermarket?

Good that you made it yours! :thumbs:

Those are the stock factory seats that come with the two-tone interior cashmer/ebony.... That is correct, ebony edges; cashmer in center.
