Nice! Though I'd leave my steering wheel stitching white and do my seats black.

The black leather seats have white stitching. However, the light cashmere seats also have white stitching.

Greatest thing in those two pictures is your 220 cluster.

Yeah. 160 (USA) and 220 (Canada); they're interchangeable.



You guys also have symbols for your passenger airbag indicator while ours are in English.

not very long for the wheel maybe 45-60. I was taking my time. To do the whole car may take awhile but I want to see how the wheel looks in 3-4 months before I do the rest of the car.
