Default My new Houndstooth Interior

I posted some phone pics on another thread, but i thought i would throw these up. there arent alot of pics out there of this setup. I forgot to turn up the resolution on the camera, unfortunately.






Changing trim back to stock. used to be blue. cluster trim is discontinued so i gotta wait a bit. almost there.

Those seats are nice. Too bad the outside isn't as flashy as the inside.

I will just say this so i dont have to do all the pms on this. i wasnt just some place i got covers. a local guy put these together from scratch and built up all the broken down foam in the seats for me. he works at a small upholstery shop and did this as a side job for me for a cheaper price. however, i had to wait for him to get done for about 6 weeks. set me back about 5 bills. any upholstery shop can do this easy and i would guess it would run around 9-1k to do in a reasonable amount of time. thats what i was originally quoted and i used vinyl on the outsides, not leather.

Looks like a factory job. They look great. Reminds me of the houndstooth offered in the 30th aniversary cars.

That looks great man. Thats what I would want to do if I get custom upholstery someday. I'm really liking the tails/rear panel too, looks sweet leaving them uncleared/buffed with the semi gloss berger panel. I have an extra set of tails that I should try that to as well.
