Very Nice, Looks GREAT!

How much of your interior is now leather? Are you considering the leather rear console? Thanks for sharing your pics with us, because you know we LOVE pics!

the whole centre rear console is leather, not that you can tell from my collection of pic's. the best perspective is the rear compartment cover with the 4S logo behind it. You can see the centre line stitch down the piece.

Everything except the side air vents and the defroster piece. I have a leather defroster piece i got on Ebay for $50. All leather with a wood insert strip the whole length. i am slowly removing the wood strip and will get it replaced with a carbon fibre strip. That suggestion came from my dtr!

How hard is it to install the rings? I have the aluminum faces... I don't actually like them but think they might look better with the rings.

spend some time fitting them before glueing them is my only comment.

i used the crazy glue and had no issues. i was thinking of getting rid of my alu gauges before i installed the rings, they really make a nice difference imo.

i got mine on Ebay - prices vary by about $40 or so at most.

There are quality issues with the lower ends but i really don't know if anyone could tell in that cavern of an instrument pod.

I noticed the rear compartment cover, because mine is leather also, but with the "Carrera" logo embossed on it. I wasn't sure about the remainder of the center console. Is the part outlined in red (below) also leather? Sorry to be so daft but I couldn't tell by the pic.

Lee, I had the trim rings and sent them back b/c the quality was substandard. Maybe from Eric they would be better. I got mine from Brandywine but I do not recommend.

I did the rings and the gauges also and really like the look. I think the alum accents in you car look hot. If you don't mind a suggestion....Alum pedal covers. Here are the ones I have. http://rennline.com/indexframes.html Easy mod and would look right with your car.
