Build quality is just O.K. They could have used a higher grade (clearer) resin when building the carbon fiber shell...some parts of it are a little cloudy...

If I were to purchase these over again, I'd probably go with the ones from Maxspeed Motorsports...

To this:

Rear Center Console painted Guards Red (leather side bolsters matches seats).
Carbon Fiber Shift **** (leather and silver stitching matches seats)
Carbon Fiber E-Brake (leather and silver stitching matches seats)

FLY996 you did a great job! the Spinnybeck leather is not cheep in any way! I use it here all the time, Your Reupholster did a very good job.
I am just going to start to do my seat covers in the next few weeks, I have a short break before we get busy building furniture again! LOL

Thanks J - Yeah I thought about silver but figured there was enough of that color already and I wanted something to match up with the seat belts.



[quote=BDPorsche;2567133]WOW! Very nice!

Thanks!

Spinnybeck (Derby Black) is definitely a great way to go for quality leather...worth every penny. The upholster (Brian's Upholstery, Tolland, CT) did a great job with the seats, e-brake, shift boot and rear center console leather replacement. Now I need to find someone who can make a custom matching jacket. Thanks and good luck with your project.

Thanks Bro, much appreciated!

Dude.... your car looks sick! I wish i fit into those seats! The red console is a really great idea. Just one suggestion though: Take the horse shoe off the shifter boot and send it to John at MA Carbon. It was only like a hundred bucks for him to do it in CF. I think it would e a nice touch. What do you think?


I did the gauge cluster too.
