I've only got two pics of Mikes car, but it is in fantastic shape. Having an issue with a hot start problem and the squeak on the brakes, but we are working through it.
The first picture is from a photoshoot, and the car is covered with baby powder.

So why was it covered in baby powder????
The door panels look great! Did he modify the speaker openings to allow for the different speakers?

When you post something like this it seems to cry out for a critique. When I look at what you have to show the first problem is that the pictures are not that good and they don't show much. What they do show is some really nice looking leather and some great stitching, and the door insert on the right door fits great--better than I have been able to get mine to fit.
However, I am reminded of the time when I hired a young man to rake the leaves in my yard. He put a great deal of work into it and bagged over a dozen bags of leaves and placed them neatly for pickup. However when I looked over the lawn area he had raked there were still some leaves around that he had not gathered up. It occurred to me then that the measure of how good a job he did raking the leaves was not how many he raked up but if how few he left.
When I apply that kind of criteria to your door panel job I find myself asking why the door insert on the right has two significant lumps in it. I can't see much of the rest of the job, but have to wonder what else I might observe.
Nevertheless I suspect the job is overall better than I might do.

I like the color is it a dark charcoal grey? its not slightly bluish is it?
regardless it looks very good. I had considered using a dark grey if I were going to redo a black car. I like the look much better then just solid black.
Very sharp

These photos are not very good as I took them with an iPhone. I will take some hi-res images of the door panels and post them later. There is a bump in the photo, it was the plastic clip that's used to seat the insert, it was not seated correctly.
