I have a leather console but decided to try something which I think is different. I stripped off the vinyl, sanded, primed and painted body color to match seat backs (crappy picture). Any thoughts?

I have a black leather center console for sale, if anyone is interested. Paid $200.

 

More pictures?

 

Your interior looks amazing. Great color combo.

 

Raptor:

Looks great from what I can see. MORE PICS please.

Mike

 

Yes, more pictures please. I am very close to painting the back of my sports seats white too. This may be the push I need.

 

I'd put this on your list of "todo's".

 

Hardbacks or console?

Hardbcks have been taken apart and the new black leather covers are ready to go on. I am just waiting on the paint shop to paint the backs. So yes I am color keying the hardbacks Riviera Blue.


Mike

 

I know you're doing the seat backs but if I were you I'd consider the center console too. Drop off that center console off at the paint shop as well.

 

I need to see more pics. That may be way too much blue if you know what I mean. I got Rivi Blue hardbacks and seatbelts. A Rivi Blue console may be too much.

+993 on MORE PICS!

This is yet another consideration for the slippery slope...

 

Here are some more. Clearly, when I asked the upholstery shop for midnight blue they didn't adjust for time difference. I've got six (yeah SIX) different blues: Dash and doors (OEM), SW (996 marine blue), semi-faded Cab carpet blue, the lame-inability-to-match-Porsche-blue Lloyd Mats dark blue (Lloyd's "midnight blue" is a gray-blue); and top-boot. Plus, my calipers are another blue. Chuck and Mike, your use of black was sound! I do have some spot on dye from Surflex, but am moded-out for now.









The Bird was recovered, as was the brake handle and shift boot. The wire is the iPhone/iPod connection in the Bird.


Mike, you may be right about the blue. I bought a used console for $100 and still have my blue leather console if I tire of the painted one.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Chuck, I saw your CL ad when you were in Menlo. Sorry the market is bad, but your car is really nice and it's good you still have it.

 

What are the 2 buttons next to the e-brake? Are they heaters for the seat.

Mike

 

Mike: Yes.

 

That looks amazing. I wish I would have thought of that. I have a feeling I'm going to copy this idea someday.

 

That interior looks spectacular. I know what you mean about all the different shades of the same (midnight blue) colour.
