Yeah they definitely hit hard lol. I have two 12's back there and I think one major reason why they rattle my brain so much is because everything reflects off the back glass. All my friends that ride with me love it lol

I think this would be a tasteful addition to what is already a classy interior. If you just plan on having it gloss black then just take it to your local paint shop and have them spray it. The finish is the same as hydrocoating. You might even call around and see who is spraying ceramic clears. More durable than your normal 2k clear and has the same gloss characteristics.

Props for trying something different. I am just not the biggest fan of the ostrich. Everything else on your car makes this upholstery job seem below par. I would see if a professional could use some steam to make the upholstery fit tighter or something. It just seems like it is sagging. Go ahead everyone, and flame away as to why I am a dick with no taste.

Your certainly entitled to your opinion...like I said the ostrich is a love or hate it thing. I have always liked it and wanted to use it in the car, and I am very happy with the results. I will say the quality of the seats is far from below par...like them or not the quality of the work is top rate and there was no corners cut.

^cause ostrich is ****!n gorgeous 
i could see the "below par" thing, if he used some cheap, low quality material and slapped that in a perfect show car, which has set the bar very high. but ostrich is neither cheap nor low quality.
"par" should be used to describe how well the quality of products going into the car, compare to the quality of what is already in the car (not so much opinion of how much you like them or not). similar to golf, where being par would be matching the value already given to the hole. above par, would be to do better than the value given... eagle, birdie, etc...
nothing against your opinion, just your use of the word par.

I am sure the quality of the material is above par but just because it has an expensive price tag does not necessarily mean it is above par. Ill go ahead and retract my use of the word par. My main point that I should have made instead of letting myself get side tracked with a personal opinion, is that the fitment of the upholstery should be better. The front seats don't seem to fit too bad actually but the rears do not fit very well(at least from the picture angle). FWIW I am not trying to sit here and act like my interior is any diamond in the rough either. Actually it is far from being in this good of shape. Just stating my thoughts.

Well I appreciate a nice interior. However, Im not sure why the seats are quite so plain for a "show car" The ostrich was a nice touch though. Also, not sure why the panels on the rear seat back look like a 2 year olds stack of building blocks.
