I think that's a good spot for the homelink. Doing it his way means you don't have to tear up a visor. I think I'll steal that location for mine.

Very nicely done. Any plans to wrap the dash in leather/alcantra? I think I only saw that once.

I would love to do the dash and doors. Haven't seen pricing yet but this car is going nowhere anytime soon so maybe...

Seriously, very nice.
Check out the embroidered steering wheels at Vette Essentials. It may be a bit much for your understated look, but I think they set off any interior.

I like that Apsis wheel...

Yea, I did that four years ago when there weren't as many options with sunvisor vendors. It's actually been pretty convenient though...

Very nicely done! That's pretty much how I'd do mine if I were to redo it.

Looking very good!

I'd love to do the dash in leather but am concerned that it would lift over time due to sun beating in and heating the interior up. That is the worst place because the front windshield acts like a magnifying glass. Anybody have any experience with this?
