Beautiful pieces!!
You know they are nice when they look that good in your living room (in the first pic). Awesome looking inside the car!
Looks like you have a new motor waiting to go in too (outside the window in pic 2) ??
Staying subscribed to this one for the installed pictures.

Super nice components, your interior will be "ultra high end"..
Looking forward to seeing your components fitted.
Super nice.

The seats look awesome but I know this is WAY out of my price range. I've got a couple of the APSIS door panels; I can only imagine what they charged for all these pieces.

Hi, the dash pad only has 6-7 screws, but you must take off the radio bezel, a piller covers, knee bolster and glove box. It's not that bad , a few clips and screws for each peice. There was no damage on anything ,they did a very good job on every thing. Thanks, Walt

Yes you can, the car is still apart now, but if you want to come down the seats are in the car, and you can try them on for size. Walt

Hi , i did the installation myself, i don't know what somebody would want to do it. Im sure it's by the hour. As for the parts it depends how much of the interior you get done. You can look on Apsis and Caravaggio web sites to get an idea of what each peice cost. Thanks, Walt
