Holy crap Batman! Those are outrageous! Really awesome.
Just when I was getting very comfortable with my car, you post pictures of beautiful work, and the bar gets raised higher.....this is getting almost as bad as the upgrades those guys do on the 993 forum....
Now when I decide to change the carpet, I'll want to redo all of the leather, front and rear, jeepers, I can't afford this!!!

Paul,
The quality of your work is just outstanding, after seeing this in a Pagani Zonda and the Spyker, I love this quilted diamond pattern on the leather. Is this something you could do on the side console panels , and the seat inserts (pleated channels would be gone of course)? I had planned to do a 100% faithful restoration until I discovered the car had been painted a different color in the late 90's, but now I think something like this would be amazing.
This is a Spyker, their F1 cars may not be much now, but check out the craftmanship on this. Looking at Paul's work reminded me about this interior, highly unique and original, with top notch quality.

that's funny, because I have a full interior project scheduled to begin at the end of the month with design elements based on Spyker
I think the attention to details of his interiors puts him a few notches above the rest.

Wow. How fortunate the 928 community is to have Paul and Linda focusing their product efforts on our community (at least for now).
Is there any custom leather that is higher end than this?
I'm amazed at the degree of expertise, excellence and innovation that is available in the aftermarket, performance and restoration market for such a small segment as Porsche 928.
Seeing this just makes me more attached to my car.
Kudos, Paul.

Paul,
Your work is totally unexceptable! Poor craftmanship all around! Ahh, gotcha! I thought after all those words of praise, I'd thought I'd throw you off a little bit. But honestly, that is better than original factory quality. You are a true artist, perfectionist and an absolute asset to the 928 community. I bow down down to you sir for work above and beyond anything I've ever seen.
If I ever keep one of these cars for more than 2 weeks, you'll be the man I turn too! Your the best! 
regards, Todd Johnson

Dude Seriously
Every time I think it can't get any better you post another picture.
That is artwork, I would have a hard time sitting on those!
