All-in-all, it was a great transaction!

Rick,

Coming from you, (the poster child of a beautiful, custom interior) that means a LOT!

Thanks!

I suggest installing some Lloyds floor/cargo mats. Not only for looks but they also help to further muffle road noise in addition to the soundproof material.


Thanks a lot! It ~does~ feel like a new car, I just love it!

I appreciate the compliments! BUT....I discovered a limitation (mine) on that double din mod...the pictures make it look much better than it does in-person.

I'm gonna have Dennis at DD Mods do me one up...this one just ~won't~ do! The finish is not as consistent as I'd like, and I don't like how the ash tray delete came out....I thought that I'd be able to use the ash tray door to cover the seat heater controls and the USB charging ports, but it just didn't want to cooperate. I'm thinking that Dennis will be able to do it better.

Thanks again,
KoreaJon

The vendor was "Exotikleather" but a recent search on Ebay showed no items for sale. I don't know what happened, but I am very satisfied with what I got for the amount I paid!
