It took two pullers. The first puller was a KD tool i got from amazon the arm broke right off, this wheel was on there tight. I went to a old auto parts store in my neighborhood, and i found another kd tool with the same part #, the arm was thicker, they must have changed the design. The second one did not break. I know you can rent them from some parts stores, but i don't know what the deal is if you break theirs. Walt

Very nice interior work !
You really have to see the work 'Apsis does to really appreciate the scope of it. I have spoken with Jersey, Great guy. You can see the work and products this summer as Apsis has a booth at Corvettes At Carlisle this year as they have in the past. But being able to run your hand over the quality fabric and stitching is a good way to estimate if you want the level of construction and craftsmanship.. And you have to keep in mind, Quality = Costs. Speed lingerie is another interior maker that does absolutely incredibly work and they stand behind their work 100% If you want drop dead interior Apsis is the way to go.

I don't usually knock a company but after reading this I felt inclined to respond in regards to APSIS products. I have purchased items from them and can personally say the QUALITY was way less than desired. They may produce some nice items but the door panels I got had a ton of issues that I felt were not worthy of a part costing close to $900 each.

I have a hard time understanding why it is necessary to use a positive situation to knock a vendor. Why not either solve the problem by discussing it privately with the person who performed the work you are unhappy with or take any other appropriate action that is available.
This ends up to be a no win situation for either party and seems childish to me. The work I have seen looks great and c5inphila seems happy with it so why jump in and bad mouth the vendor???

WOW! I've been having dreams of doing something similar (super alcantera/real carbon fiber like the Ferrari F430 Scud) and APSIS keeps making the top of the list every time I start looking for a vendor. Great to see another high quality product from them.
