RedLine Goods installed
What great folks to deal with. They used my steering wheel as a pattern for the 90-93 style steering wheel cover. I had my driver's seat repaired by the local upholstery shop so I also had them stitch the cover on using the thread that RedLine sent me. RedLine also supplied the emergency brake handle cover, the shift boot and the padded armrest.
Just noticed I failed to vacuum the floor mat that I had dirtied getting in and out of the car during the install. I could not get the car outside for good light as it was raining. The folurescents in my garage kind of washed out the color.
Painted my horn buttons black too as I never liked their gray color.

Looks good. How is the quality of the leather on the shifter boot? I installed an OEM reproduction style one from CC a couple of summers back & the dye started peeling and wearing off after only a year.

Quality of the leather is great. The feel of the steering wheel is quite different from the original. Kinda nice.

I like the 2-tone look. 
2 things.
1. Your shift **** is on backwards.
2. I'd like to see the E-brake handle you got. Any pics of that?

What I am happiest about though is how the local auto upholstery guy fixed my driver seat. It was cracked, scuffed and worn through in some spots (especially the outside bolster). He made it look as good as my passenger seat for only $300. He stitched the steering wheel cover on while holding the wheel on his lap and watching tv at home.
I think I am going to have to take the armrest to him to so he can add more padding to flesh it out.
