Default P. Champagne's leather arm rest installed

Paul comes through again
Paul recovered the vinyl arm rest pads in leather with silver stitching to match the rest of the interior.

The door panels are leather and were just treated with lexol.
Pauls leather insert with crest and the new leather arm pads are not treated hence the contrast in black.
Thanks Paul

Rich

Gah... pure sex. I should just send Paul my entire car and say "have fun!"

Great look! Again, I love your taste in the mods you do to this car. Simply one of my favs.

Just out of curiosity Paul, what would an entire interior run in factory spec looking leather $$$?

Thanks, very curious..............

Looks good, but sticks out like a sore thumb on a vinyl door. Looks like you'll have to get the whole doors done by Paul now....

Doors are not vinyl.
The only vinyl left is the remainder of the arm rest. I guess I'll send those to Paul next for leather redo.

Looks excellent Rich,

I have to assume that they went back on without any issues
I'm sure you will appreciate the difference in comfort on your next drive.

I'm pretty sure that the lighting and camera make it look much worse than it is in person. With use, the leather parts will all blend in.

Paul, if I am in the Corpus Christi area because I got horribly lost trying to go to Autozone can I drop the car off and have you redo my door panels, entire carpet, and redo my dash?

I don't know how much that would all run for but I'd buy you a steak dinner anywhere you want. :P

V, drop me an email at champagn@stx.rr.com
I am booked with full interior project for many months to come, but we can discuss what you need.

Paul,

drove the car to work today. The extra height and padding on the arm rest is very comfortable.
Did you notice that the stitching on the arm rest pad lines up perfectly with the stitching on the center panel insert ?

Thanks Again for squeezing me in your schedule.
