Custom Leather Seat/Door Card Pics Inside

I am over all very happy with the seats and door cards. They look a million times better, and I am positive the pics do not do them justice what so ever. The Leather quality is amazing. Easily as nice as my wife's Volvo Exec edition. Comfort of seats in drastically improved, and the look of the car inside goes from cheap to something you actually want people to look at. I am a little disappointed in the Evo X on the Head Rest. Its my fault on placement and size. I think it should have been a little bigger and a lower, but its hard to tell on a virtual mock up of the car when you pick it. Don't mind the shift boot I have one on the way as this is being typed. Like I said pics do not do it justice, but do not be afraid to be brutally honest if you don't like. I'm not thin skinned. (I know the EVO X on the Head rest looks off )

Looks good. I know this is OT but are there speakers in the rear doors of the X?

I know the Colors are not original or flashy, but I wanted to keep it classy and clean. It really helped to clean up the interior the cloth on my seats and doors was looking pretty bad especially on the the driver side door where I rest my elbow.

Yes there are speakers in the rears.

I think it would look better if it says Evolution X, and maybe a different font.

Other than that, the colour combo looks fine.

The head rest is atrocious, but the fitment looks like quality work. I'm guessing this was fairly expensive to do completely custom.

Personally I would have gone with the MR interior or I have seen that Mitsu in the UK also has a leather interior they sell aftermarket.

I think the MR leather looks like Cheap Plastic Leather IMO. I should have not put the Evo X on the Headrest, but other than that the quality of the leather is far superior to the cheap stuff that is in the MR. It was a dumb mistake that cant be taken back.

I doubt you'd even be able to notice the holes

Leather looks great, although I would have gone with all black with white stitching. What I really want is black leather/suede mixture on the seats with suede roof liner.

Headrest looks absolutely horrible. See if there is something you can do about that.

like what the others have said the "evo x" on the headrest looks really out of place. i would have gone with all black with the red stitching but your color combo looks good nonetheless.
