Looks good. Were instructions provided for the removal and install of the leather pieces or did you just wing it? Pls provide some pointers on anything that would be a "need to know" or link to a video that you found would be helpful on the process.

They have instructions on their website but there’s a couple of videos on YouTube that I found to be better. Once I convinced myself it wasn’t brain surgery, it wasn’t that hard. The parking brake boot they supply isn’t cut exactly like the vinyl OEM boot at the bottom which kinda puzzled me but after some fiddling around with it, it works fine. I had a local upholstery guy do the console pad and leather for $30.
I recently installed the same from redlinegoods in my M6. Before I removed the shift and e-brake boot from the plastic rings I used a silver sharpie to mark where the leather was wrapped on the inside of the frame so I had a reference point for the new ones. As stated the instructions are available but not that great, but gets you started, I think the quality of their product is great. Hope this helps.
I’m doing some upgrading myself..man that painted silver they put in these cars is horrendous..that’s next on my list
Yep I agree. Mine is a 2006 and I had that lovely trim in my car as well. Since mine is a vert I decided to extend the body color to the console. I painted the dash pods, gauge bezels, window switches, e-brake button, and steering wheel spokes flat black with a matte clear. Had a friend of mine paint the console bezel. I like it lots better than the silver.
Next on my list is a RFE steering wheel and air bag cover. Then my interior is done.
