Well done. Do you have any other red/whatever you call the color accents in the car anywhere?

Wow that looks really good, Now if only there was a blue pleather kit for the CVT Glad you finally got your pieces back as well with good quality

Very Nice!

On a side note, I would love to see someone replace the blonde fabric on the inside top part of car so it matches the black leather. That color only looks good on someone who got the blonde leather like Mchedi and others.

Not yet. I'm talking with the guy about doing some custom work for me doing the door panels and arm rests. Eventually, I'm hoping to get some Katzkin in there (black w/burgundy center panels).

Thanks man. I've been thinking about doing the roof too. Would it be easier to wrap it in another fabric, or just take the damn thing out and dye/spray it........

Tight. I want a super-custom title now.

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Big kudos go to ShiftStyle for the awesome quality.The rest of my interior mods for this year are postponed (getting married, buying a house, etc...), but next year I'm hoping to finish with the leather, as well as getting the center console wrapped in CF...should be sexay!!!

Way slick, love the look.

Just an idea of something quick and easy you could do. A red Vinyl over the E-Brake bottom. Basically, make that look like it had a boot also. $5 for vinyl? You should be able to get a full piece on there with just a hole cut out for the handle.

The only problem with that would be colour-matching it to the rest of the leather...I like my stuff to look as streamlined as possible.

one word - BALLER!

really like the look of the boot... looks mean with the shift knob! well done!

You going to paint the seat belt release buttons then? They are a bit lighter...haha, just playing.

I think you could find a similar red out there. You could take the leather into HomeDepot for a color spectrum match (have the counter do it...you will get a R/B/Y set of values...and then I would imagine someone out there could print vinyl to a color of your choice...

Looks to be about $5 for a 1x1 foot square.

Smartass................ haha s'all good!

I didn't think about getting it colour matched...I just wonder how accurate it would be? I'll probably just end up asking ShiftStyle to do a custom boot as well. I'd also really like to get a whole new e-brake handle. I think it looks so damn cheap in that black plastic.......

I like the matching look...e-brake boot should get included along your path. Very nice how-to as well.

x2 (but I am sure that would be a BIZNATCH to replace...)

Yeah, I definitely want to get like a momo ebrake..... I wonder how bad install would be?

Another great install !

We're both Calgaryans and I don't play with electric too often. Can I ask you to install some footwell LEDs ?
