Interior Revisions, Leather where no leather's been before
Just thought I'd contribute/show off some pictures of my recently completed projects.
I'd also like to thank all of you, since you were the ones who gave me ideas and helped me along.

Or some other leather bonding glue material.
Also, I went for their whole catalog for the rx8, the large center console pieces not pictured are to be avoided. they keep the pieces from fitting back together properly.
If you want them, I'll send them out for free since they're just lying around my apartment doing me no good
How so? I mean to each their own, but I'm curios as to what makes you say that.

Your steering wheel and e-brake leather cover could look better...
Here's a little sample practice I did to trim my e-brake in leather. Anything with velcro looks "shoddy" and it should be put on the right way. Trimmed up a fitting piece of leather, and stitched after this practice.
Steering wheel covered in suede. First time doing a steering wheel. Granted I wouldn't do it again had someone paid me $400 in labor for the 28 man hours spent working on it. Thankfully AutoExe offers a CUSTOM pre-trimmed leather cover that fits just as well as mine and OEM for under $200. They also have a completely rim replacement sold by MazMart for around $400 which is am ABSOLUTE deal.
If you're going to do it, do it right and have it look OEM. I do like your center console covers though.

I'm divorced, having random engine parts on my dining room table is normal, 
This wheel is my new favorite mod, I almost want to buy another one as a back up since they may stop making them soon.

It definitely is a great deal, and I love the look. What's the concensus on having this red-stitched wheel in an interior where red is not already the accent color? Would it clash too much? I have blue stitching in my shift boot and soon-to-be console covers.

Yeah I am not sure what I am doing with my seats yet. My shift boot has red stitching but that is the only thing that has red stitching.
The Status seats I want would run about $4,000.00
