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.

Looks good! I have all the topgaiters leather stuff as well, but I haven't put the console cover pieces on yet. Any tips on installing these things?

I see you made a nice rendition of one of my loading screens... well done sir.

Looks shoddy IMO.

Yeah, a big one: Shoe Goo.

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

That was yours?! Thanks!!!!! It was the perfect platform to start off of. A million times, thanks for making it!

How so? I mean to each their own, but I'm curios as to what makes you say that.

How so? Aside from the shift boot, It all fits horribly. The floor mats look way out of place as well.

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.

AutoExe Alcantara cover. paid 275

not a fan of the perf leather or the D shape.

but to each their own.

Oh, love it. If I were to do it all over again, I would save my time and effort, and grab an AutoExe.

My red and black wheel is looking more and more decrepit and this wheel is looking better and better...

Also I love that there is a random rotor in the background lol.

I'm divorced, having random engine parts on my dining room table is normal, :lol:

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.

Im with Scott,

The Autoexe wheel is without a doubt worth the investment, all the wraps no matter how good you do it just don't look like they belong.

Have 2K miles on my wheel and it still smells like brand new leather.

I like it a lot.

Considering the replacement cost for OE, this wheel is a steal.

Scott, you make me want to invest in a camera :lol: Cell shots don't do things justice :(

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.

IMO thats the OP's problem he is facing, he has a car with cloth and no red accents and he is buying everything with a ton of red and it looks like your trying to hard.

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 :lol:

I love the OE seats, Im just getting mine re-upholstered.

Who sells that AutoExe steering wheel? I noticed MazMart was on their distributor list, but they have 0 items listed for AutoExe.

Mazmart is the only way to get it, contact Paul!
