Still well worth it!

My car has low miles on it. However, it was owned by someone who really enjoyed jewelry. Ring nicks and scratches all over.
The first thing I did was take the car to a local upholsterer who completely redid my door cards to match what came from the factory.


Original door cards

D@mn man. That interior was in ROUGH shape. Infinite improvement.

Hope the rest of the car wasn't as rough.

That's why I take my watch/ring off while driving my cars. Big improvement, I assume your a/c controller is out?

Just the door cards and shifter. Everything else is near perfect. Jewellery will kill an interior quicker than ****.

Not a product. It's completely new material. The upholsterer tore the old off and stitched new on.

The climate control works perfectly. Just started bleeding the other day.
I'm ordering the new LCD kit for it on Monday.
