Beautiful!

But if I ever bought a vacuum cleaner for my wife as a gift I'd have to hire a divorce attorney.

Thanks. It has been a fun project and really turned out better than I had hoped. I have to thank so many of you guys for inspiration. You are a tough crowd to keep up with!

Cactus, You MAY NOT POST just after Jerry. Your avatars need some separation. (I mean that with the utmost respect)

The silver crests in the headrests is a great idea and I'm surprised no one had thought of doing it earlier. And the carbon fiber seat trips looks great...I went to website and my jaw dropped when I saw the prices - I'm not sure my wife will let me get away with getting those! BTW, the routing of your seatbelt is off...it's supposed to be threaded through the lower hole on the outboard side.

edit - ah, never mind about the last sentence...just read your reply on your other post.

I think most would say that they had great success using the Color Plus stuff. As I said, it has been working great on my steering wheel for quite a while now. I just could not get it to work on my seats. I will say that even on the steering wheel, it seems the leather doesn't breathe as well.

Yea, the price is something else (Jen REALLY digs me). Marcus wasn't going to be that much better. There are 12 pieces to the set.

BTW, you can officially take my name off the list for yours. Have you come up with any alternatives?

12 little pieces for 1789 CAD, this is nuts. Entire door panels in CF cost less. Did your wife know the pound was almost twice the dollar??
