Where did you order the seat upholstery? It looks good.

That's pretty much how mine will look once the door panels are back in, but a Camaro.

Ohhh damn. Nice work!

Haha! I totally forgot you were the one I was PMing when I needed help with my door panels. I should have taken your advice and took the offer to have them done at $50 a piece but I thought it would be fun to try myself...

it really depends what you want done and what condition your seats are in. Doing just the inserts is not bad at all.

Looks Real Good!

I am about to get mine professionally done with Sunset Orange inserts, doors, seats similar to your setup.. I know it is a bit risky going with the Orange but depending on how well they can match the color I think it will look killer.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. 95greenbird did a great job on them. Once I get the headrests embroidered and the shift boot done, I think I will call it a day with the interior and start focusing on the the exterior.

I am very interested in seeing that as well. I have never seen any SOM car with orange inserts that wasnt terrible, but I keep thinking it could be done! So prove me right and then tell me who done it!

I just got back from the place the color is called "Poppy" by Fanfare, it is honestly just about dead on minus the metalic flake in the SOM.. I think it is going to look killer. Problem is it's a tad bit more expensive then I wanted to spend so now I have to find someone who doesn't charge $1500 of labor

That's alot of money! If I would have had to pay that, I don't think I would have had mine done.
