Installed new Redlinegoods.com Leather
At first I was not sure about these. I emailed Maciek and expressed my concerns. He graciously said to install the pieces and if I was not happy he would gladly exchange them for me. The leather is top notch, my hesitation was with the stiching. I must say, after the install I am pleased. Here are a few pics.

Rick, pieces look great...I think the stiching is subtle enough and is done with class. Curious about the centre console. Thing looks factory...how did you get it to fit so snug? Did you take the factory cover off?

I know what you mean. The pieces look a little sad before installation. Have to say it wasn't the most straight forward job I've done but I'm happy with my installation.
The leather looks a little pink in the direct flash. For real its much darker.
BTW I agree with the comments. Your fit looks subtle. Great job

I know what you mean when it comes to the stitching. To bad he couldn't find a better machine or thread to do the job. The leather is top drawer thought.

To answer the question on the console lid, I used double sided tape under the factory cover to hold it in place, this allowed me to strech it taught before screwing everthing back together.

I actually removed the mid america console cushion, it was not bad, but the piping on my was all discolored and dingy looking after a year or so. It was black with yellow piping.
