Black/Silver 2-tone Leather Installed **PICS**

Only took me about 20 hours by myself to install the new Katzkin leather...
I couldn't be happier with how it looks!!
There are a couple loose spots that I couldn't tighten for the life of me but I think it's just the way the covers were made, nothing I could do. Other than that they are flawless. Hopefully they'll shrink and tighten a little since it's in areas that are real leather (does real leather shrink at all??)

The pics make the silver leather look almost white but they are actually very silver/grey and not as light.

Check it out!!

Stillen Type 2 wing will be here Tuesday or Wednesday!!

Read my original post. There are a few spots that are too loose. Specifically on the passenger seat back and the rear passener side seat back and right above the rear armrest. Nothing I could do about, I pulled it and fastened as tight as it would go. Hopefully it shrinks a little in those areas.

The color is called Silver. I wanted the entire center in silver, not just the inserts. I like the drastic contrast of the whole center.
It's personal preference...

Yea my hands are killing me! I have a huge blister on my right middle finger from cutting off the stock hog rings and a couple huge cuts from the sharp metal frame inside the front seats...

I'll never install custom leather again, that's for sure!!

I actually have lots of blue LEDs all over my interior

Check my homepage for a list of where I put them

This past week I did the window switches as well as ~20 in various spots for some accent light. I'll try and take some pics tonight or tomorrow.
