Very Nice! Definitely on my list of mods to do. Dont worry, the leather should shrink and mold to the seats a little better once summer comes around.

How do you like the AGP intercooler? I am about to pull the trigger on it.

I love your tint on your tail lights. I like the stock tail lights versus the RA tails, which look like Mazda or Scion tails. The stock ones look amazing with a smoke or overlay tint, so I hope they don't change it in the 09s.

I like it, haven't had any problems with it. I know AGP has had great success with it on their shop car. Installation was easy no fitment issues at all. The hardest part is removing the front bumper for the first time. Once you get it off once you realize it's a piece of cake.

Sorry to raise the dead, I just ran across a pic of your interior on the "other" site and noticed that the leather pretty well shrunken and well formed, without alot of wrinkles. Was that a summer pic or is it still like that? Sure looks better than your initial pics here.

Looks like I can link the pic, its photobucket. Notice how much tighter the leather is than the initial pics - particularly on the seat backs. Still some wrinkles on the seat bases but it is a significant improvement.

This is an old thread, but man, whoever did the leather on those seats, should be shot. They did a horrible job of making sure that it's nice and tight all the way around. Wrinkles all over the place. All I can say is that my stock MR leather/suede looks way better.

How fast time goes by, it’s been a year since then . I’ve changed a lot of things in the car since I took those pictures . That interior pic you’re referring to was taken at the beginning of June of this year (hadn’t had many warm days yet). The leather looks much better now that it’s had some time to mold to the seat. It only has a couple of wrinkles on the seat side (where my *** keeps moving while I’m driving ). Here’s an updated recent pic:

I agree, the shop that did the work is not very good, but again there aren’t that many qualified interior shops around here. The seats were made by Roadwire but installed by a local company. This is the first interior set done in this style (with the color showing through the perforations) when I talked to the shop, a qualified Roadwire shop, they didn't know what I was talking about since this was so new so I had to show them pictures from last year's SEMA show and gave him the number of the Roadwire guy I talked to at the show so he could call them.

Yes it was, and my brother’s is right below mine (Josue). There have been some changes since those pics as well, here’s a more updated picture of the car:

Very nice man.

People!! Lose is good. The leather needs room to give, or it will tear and look like crap real soon. Take a look at and expensive car's seats. The portion were you sit usually looks baggy. The leather has to give.
