Hell yeah it turns heads every were i take it and its undetectable that it was hit at some point. The seats are actually tan leather with black sway inserts, the middle insert is perforated sway.

Really looks nicely done. Your seats make me very excited to have my reupholstered. Hell yeah that's vinyl wrapping carbon 3d look since no one makes one of parts in carbon for our cars the best idea and inexpensive was to wrap it. You can get the wrapping on ebay for like $35 bucks or so for a huge roll.The seats came out stunning in my opinion, the complete reupholstered front and back seats ran me $1,550 not bad for the the quality of work.

eduardo castellanos Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Beautiful! Is the hood spaced up at the back like that on purpose? BC_99 Yup i spaced the hood about 1/2 inch in order to have better air flow cooling the engine down, believe or not it works great, Japanese cars use that setup in drift cars and on road racing. It looks a bit off in way but i like it and it helps decipate heat from the engine bay, the scoop i also functional as it has a hole cut to vent the turbocharger while the car is in motion. The more ventilation you have the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yeah my buddy did a magnificent job on the air damn, he took a couple of days to get it were it is as its tricky due to the wide mouth cuts we hat to do in order to fit the intercooler, the bumper and the air damn are joined together really firmly.
