I just completed the apillars, front windshield trim, rear halo trim and rear speaker trim panels. Took my time and took we roughly 2 panels per day. I ordered the interior upper door sill pieces. Hope they come by this weekend. Those look pretty easy to recover. I like the looks of the lower door sill panel in leather, but I'm afraid it will get scuffed up too easily. I covered the gauge pods last year and had to add spacers since the thickness of the leather was engaging the buttons.
My haven't been able to take very good photos as of yet, but everyone loved the look at the car show sthis weekend.

You went all in, very nice work. Looks great. How do the sunvisors fit?

Nice job! I have the rear trim, upper and lower door sill pieces on the way as well and am concerned about scuffing.
With your door sill panels being cashmere, do you think the black leather on the upper will transition ok with the cashmere lower?
Speaker grill removal is pretty easy and obvious once you have the panel off.
Make sure you mark the grill and panel because believe it or not they are oriented a specific way. That was not obvious and it took me about 5 minutes each to get them reinstalled correctly.
That panel was a little tricky to get off. There is a pretty substantial white push fiction pin jump behind the speaker. I use a very long slotted screw driver as leverage to pop that pin out. You have to be careful with that pin or you can break the holder built into the panel.

Reason: Addition info
Here are some photos of the Additional pieces received today installed.
New dual color door handle leather pieces and the inner door trim under the apillar.
I just bit the bullet and ordered the illar and lower door trim. Hope I don't scuff that lower piece.
Really nice work. Looks top notch. The more I did, the more confident I became. I do really wish that they made the knee bolster and glove box pieces though.

I think it would be nice if they had the dash as well.
I'm so glad people are doing this mod. I find it to be challenging but very rewarding. I'm contemplating doing the back speaker panels now, lol.
I bought a roll of just vinyl a while back. Haven't done anything with it yet, but my thought was that the vinyl would be better that just the plastic every where. I really don't like that plastic material on the door panels. Your guys Leather with the seams are outstanding. Very nice job.
Finally finished all the interior work. I have installed many different interior pieces to try and tie in the black, red and cashmere together but never liked any of them. I finally decided to lose the cashmere.
When I bought the car, it already had some interior pieces that were color matched. Here was the original
And the latest with all the leather wrapped pieces completed
The door trim pieces are nice but not really something most are going to see unless the door is open or the top is down at a car show. I did catch my boot on the drivers side getting out and it didn't hurt the leather at all. I was worried about that but it seems like it will hold up fine.

This looks great. I think I want to do this to my car at some point.
I wish that the ebay listings for this made it a little bit more clear where these different pieces go.
Love the steering wheel shroud. Can you share how you installed without removing please? Very interested but do not want to remove. Thanks!
i only installed the top half and not the bottom at this point.
I could not figure out how to remove the column adjustment lever. Could not find the little clip.
Just laid the leather on the top and used a silver marker to mark were i needed to cut the leather. Must of did this about a dozen times to ensure i had the right cuts.
I taped off everything i thought i might possibly get contact adhesive were i didnt want it.
Wipped the shroud with alcohol and then with 3m pre-adhesisive since i did nor want to spray contact adhesive in the car.
Sprayed a heavy coat of contact adhesive on the leather and quickly placed it on the shroud and worked the leather from the steering wheel to the dash display.
I moved the steering wheel all the way down and out to help with the install.
Keep working the leather with my hands for about 15 minutes to make sure it conformed to the shroud propetly.
I did not install the leather on the bottom and may not since no one sees it, but we will see.
This piece took the most patience to instal.
I used a black perminant marker the coat thesidesof the leather were i cut it to blend into the bottom of the plactic showing better.
