Finally done!

Hi folks, just wanted to share some pix of the interior. Leather from Redline goods, and the 3m CF is from Metrorestylîng.

37 views and 0 replies??? Come on guys, say something. You don't have to like it or hate it.

Okay here I go. Not exactly my taste but looks very well done on your part. Did you do most or all of it yourself or have it done? Does look professionally done.

Made me feel guilty...haven't done enough to my interior. Still working on some small body work. Show us what the exterior looks like.

I like it, but it makes the seats look out of place now.

Also I would agree with others that the seats now would need replacing.

I can appreciate the work that went into it. But it looks "over-done."

Not my taste; looks too busy / overdone but, my opinion doesn't matter as long as you're happy with it.

I would only do the outer edges of the seats for the sake of matching everything up. Wouldn't do the whole seat. Looks like quality workmanship.

I like the quilted pattern but the seats really need to match to pull it all together. Great start though

I kinda prefer the factory materials; clean and simple (not really a CF or tuft/cross stitch fan). But most of it looks well done (some a bit loose, added on, overdone).
The only things I feel need attention in the C5 interior are the seats, and the radio and heater controls look a bit dated. Otherwise the factory did it right IMO.
Enjoy it.
