Props on a thorough and I mean THOROUGH layout/job.

That looks great. And good job on finding out how to "tone down" the shine on the snake skin. It looks real good, and you're probably going to be the ONLY F-bod with that interior.

3 Years and its finally happening. You must be ecstatic.

I don't want to get in trouble by posting non-sponsor links, but just Google

"Skintex SF Exotic"

...and it's the first thing that pops up.

Mini update: arm rests are finished.



The flash from my camera makes the Novasuede look alot lighter than it is in real life:


The really weird part is that in low light, the Novasuede actually looks a little bit darker than the Skintex:



These are the boot laces that I had the trim shop use as piping. It made getting the cuffs to hold in place while the glue cured ALOT easier:




Still working on the speaker pods. More to come...

Also, I need help with a decision:


Should I leave the door switches the stock color, or dye them black as well?
