Absolutely stunning, no other words. I?d say you certainly achieved what you set out for as far as the back seat goes. Looks phenomenal!
Thanks man, I am happy with how this is coming together.
Any pics of the rear seat foam before it was covered?
No I only have one of it with the holes and slits up the seat back sorry.
Seconded
Sorry...no
How are the rear seat-back "inserts" held in place?
The rear seat inserts are just stitched in and held in with rods and hog rings like a normal seat. We cut the foams down to create the "bucket" effect in the rear seats. Its a huge difference from the stock seats.
Black arm rest look good to me.
Has OEM vibe.
Thanks, I am just struggling with how to do the front doors. Black accessories is going to be too much and look miss matched. So I am going to try and figure that out.
I think if you did black accents on the seats(the horizontal parts), it would look really sick and custom. You would probably have to swap the armrest on doors to match.
Thanks, the stitching on the seats while not visible in the photos is black and double french stitch. Not really going for a custom look on this, trying to blend the lines of Volvo and high end european sports car.
If I take my shoes off first, may I climb into the back and sit on the rear seat? Someone has to try it out. I don't want a ride, just a sit.
You can be the second. I fished the wife back there to help install the rear side window =)
Its all the little details that most people dont see, spent last night getting all the lighting in the center dash piece in and working, got the original gas pedal cover installed so the side panel has a proper place to clip into. Trimmed a little more on the carpet, tidied up the wiring under the drivers side of the dash. Ironed out the horn and got that working again as well as the windshield wiper motor. Installed a pocket in the lower radio hole so it looks nice and finished.
Got the rear ashtray all cleaned up and installed.
Steamed the carpet around the drivers footwell and it made a nice difference in how the carpet laid in there. Looks better now.
Sliced the **** out of my finger and got blood all over the place, luckily the carpet and floor mat was wet from the steaming and it cleaned up.
I think I got the Can Bus fixed....well its at least not corrupting the can now.
Hope to get a bunch of the little stuff ironed out this weekend and maybe work on the tune a little bit.
