Default Thanks to Paul Champagne - Part two!

Many thanks to Paul and Linda for the beautiful Cargo cover and Center armrest kit.

Beautifully done and fit perfectly. The suede side is particularly nice.

Another nice example of there great talent.

I feel very lucky that you did my order before taking a brake.
Hope both of you are well.
Thanks again.

Paul is a true artist. It even surpasses the factory work in many cases. I have his seats and door panels now and am hoping to get my cargo cover soon.

Hey Bertrand,

glad you like it. That blue leather needs to be seen in person, it's really exceptional.

Thanks again for the order

Jim: I'm working on it

Paul your work surpasses the factory work IMHO.

IIRC Bertrands interior is Cobalt Blue too, was it difficult to match?

Afshin,

the cobalt blue was a challenge, but thankfully, the idea was not necessarely to have a perfect match, but rather find something that would complement the factory color well.
I had one of my trusted suppliers send Bertrand some samples and he choose a fantastic Italian hide with a glazed finish. And since this is a true vat dyed leather, the suede back is a perfect match. Really superb suede.

Engravings are really hard to photograph, especially outside. Here is a picture of that same cover I took to show Bertrand before I shipped:



Thank you all for your kind comments.

Paul

Wow, I fear the price of the cargo cover, but that is an outstanding piece.

The cover alone is $200.00 + shipping.
That does not include the hardware.

If you want matching boxes like these:




Then it's $325.00 + shipping for both boxes + the cover.

If you want the cover lined with Alcantara instead of the natural suede, it's an additional $125.00

There are more details and pictures on my website:

Have to say that considering what you get, it's darn near cheap..

Waiting for one myself much like Paul's prototype, which just happened to be a perfect color combo for my interior.

Cheers,
Erling
