+1 not really fair, I get you want to show how well things turned out but what's the point of posting on a tech forum if you're not willing or can't to help others.

Interior completed.

2 new front seats re upholstered in OEM Porsche leather Flamenco red.

New steering wheel with Carbon fiber in Flamenco red with the airbag cover leather stitched in flamenco red.

What is left to be installed is the new carbon fiber dashboard parts and hand brake lever which have taken their toll in the heat.

Still do not get what the NDA is about? That is very unusual.

Leather airbag looks great!

Not convinced by the carbon wheel as the weave is going the opposite way to how the factory ones were. Still a nice looking wheel though.
