He's gonna make a killing no kidding. Only because that price is marked up 500%. That's just ludicrous and the leather doesn't match nor does it look good.

Flame suit prepared.

its doesnt look good as in the way he wrapped it, or just it doesnt look good period? It may match really well, just different surfaces will show up different on camera.

The style of leather doesn't match the style in the actual car. Not the color. I guess to explain it the creases in your pleather are not nearly as close together as they are in the car.

Oh well, I guess I'm the OCD guy that uses my own leather because I am sure you will get a shitload of business. Good luck

There's no leather in the car stock. There a low quality imitation leather on the factory seats that has almost no grain in it. If you were to set a piece of real leather next to the material in the kits it would be almost identical. The goal wasn't to match the factory leather in texture, it was to match real leather although the color matches almost perfectly to the stock material. I'm going to get the sample page up on my site soon so you can order a sample of the material if you want to see it in person before you order.

i for one choose to trust him, if you look at the level of quality in the wrap he did, its obvious hes not just some asshat on a weekend mission to do this, he did his research, and got a decent material even if he didnt its STILL better then the shitty plastic. as for color matching, its going in his car...im fairly confident hed pick a matching color...
and for the '500%' mark up, even if it is, kudos to him, cuz theirs a bunch of us in line, and he deserves something for bieng the only person in 5 years to come up with a kit lol

im still buying
(discount for supporting? )
even without the discount

yeah but you had an arsonal of pleather wrap at your finger tips for when you made a mistake and had to redo it, and the piece you used wasnt reusable. on the kit would you include a like 4X4 piece of pleather just to have as extra?

I'm going to sell all the panels separately also and material by the yard if there's something you want to wrap I don't sell.

If you're not confident you can do it, order one panel, or order the kit and start on a small easy panel like the door accessories button bezel or ac bezel.

Once you get the concept down, it's pretty easy, just takes time.

I'm a little disappointed in the finished product. Some of the pieces just look like they were rushed through in the wrapping, but i'm sure they were since we were on his back for the past month.

Price seems high given the product that will be received. I'd still might be interested in the individual pieces depending on the price.

This def seems like it will be a pain to put on if your not detailed oriented. What about you offer selling templates/instructions, and just let the customers buy their own material. I'm sure there will be plenty of mistakes by us, and it would be much easier to go down to our local shop for material than wait for it to be ordered.

Either way good luck with everything!
