I like it.

I want to get rid of all the silver bits myself... but I have natural leather... I just wish I could get matte black parts. Leather won't work for me.

Nice

Peace

It's a bit plain for my tastes, but you know what, my opinion doesn't matter. I do however like the leatherwork and can appreciate what went into getting it that way. Whoever did it looks like they knew what they were doing.

Absolutely stunning and I bet it smells as good as it looks.

I wish the factory would have put more leather into the car, especially on the full leather cars.

Stay on top of the cleaning/conditioning on the frequent contact areas like the door pulls and door sill covers.

Beautiful!!!

Bruce, i didn't like the silver bits either, so i plastic-dipped them to matt red (to go match withe the overall theme of my car), and it turnes out great.

its been almost a year now and they hold up very well, except for the passenger side door handles which my 7-year old son gets in & out a few times a week. i might try vinyl wrap or leather next.

I don't care for the monochromatic look, but if you like it, that's all that matters. I like contrast between the silver and the Stone Gray of my interior.

The finished result looks great. I bet it looks even better in person, since the little details stand out more.

I like the door pulls a lot but I'm not so sure I like their prices.
