Interior upgrades

Finally, almost done. Covered all interior trim with black leather with red stitching from JF Customs in UK, steering wheel with red stitching by Redline Goods, airbag cover by RFE designs and all the hydrocarbon cover stuff by me and DipKit. I like it, just thought I'd share and credit those that supplied the parts.

I see you got the shifter ****, the shifter boot, the e-brake boot, the e-brake handle and the HUD and DIC Pod leather coverings.
I didn't do the pods, but everything else. The fit was great, and easy to fit and glue on.
Great Job!

Just sent airbag cover without the bag. Too many restrictions to mail the whole thing and removing the actual bag is easy. He does the work you reinstall bag in the finished cover, no fuss. I bought a separent airbag so car woundn't be down, then sold my airbag after new one was installed.

Not done yet on passenger side. Just cover glove box with perforated leather, add a fuse for seat heaters and aux receptacle in console. No more on all the time.

Looks nice, I might have to do my.pods and a pillars to match the rest of my CE 4LT interior. Is the color match any good?

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to start doing all parts over the next year. I'm going to order the side console piece, also known as the pork chop) today and test my skills.

Looking good! One of the interior upgrades I did to my 2013 GS is a padded armrest that goes with the Black/Red interior of my White GS. It looks good & feels good on my arm. There may be cheaper options available, but I had a sweet coupon code when I bought them. It worked out & I am not disappointed. ( https://www.rpidesigns.com/shop/item...u5exoCoQzw_wcB )

I have been looking at the leather cover for the center console from JF Customs. How was the install? Is it fairly easy to get it glued on nice and tight? Did you use a spray glue or some other type of application? Yours looks great!
Thanks
