Bored With a Sewing Machine

Decided to wrap my console lid yesterday, in a RedLineGoods-esque cover. Really love their work, but decided to take a swing at it. Took a good 3 hrs., but it was really straightforward and simple. I ended up showing it to a couple of
buddies and now they want me to do theirs as well.

Let me know what you think! (Sorry for the DD dirt, and I decided to throw a chopped photo in there as well.)

Bonus: Can anyone spot the difference between my car and 99% of the other F-Bodies out there?

Sure: I'll PayPal ten cents to the person who finds it (I'll pay the 3% fees as well).

Did an ashtray delete after a broken lid, and ended up sanding the whole thing down smooth, primering, and then spraying it with gloss black/clear. It's dirty at the moment, but it cleans up real nice with a microfiber.

Ya, the TA's don't have the OD or D on the consoles but still have OD. Looks like "I'm" the winner

'06 Mazda 3S. Great little car.

Well, the black carpet was put in by me, and I think the interior is actually tan.

Still no winner! I'll give you guys a hint though: it has to do with a button.

A "NO SMOKING" sign where the traction control button usually is? Is that the difference? My dad put one in his '68 camaro where the cigarette lighter is.

Well I've been trying to figure out what that blue looking button to the right of the no smoking sign is, might just be light reflection?

TCS button goes to the left of the cig. lighter, or in this case, my "No Smoking" badge. It takes the place of the little cubby that I have there. Good guess though!

That's just light reflection.

OK one more hint: Factory options.

I'm gonna be the jerk who says it. The stitching is awful. For one, the gap between the seam and the line is constantly varying. Combined with the shiny spraypainted interior pieces, I'm not diggin' it at all.
