I could do without the branding and the exterior leather. But otherwise I really like it.

Far too pimpy for me. And, the leather work isn't even very good. For example, look at this crappy stitching around the ash tray:

They lost me at that point too. That, and the leather in the wheels.

The front trunk looks good, but did you see the leather battery cover?

Love the BRMs, 1st one I have seen with BRMs except mine. Not too crazy about the leather on the outside but then again its not my car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I'd have been impressed if it were alligator or ostrich, but cowhide? Gimme a break!

I have often thought about finishing the front and rear trunks in a vinyl.

Good someone else did it and saved me the work.

not what I would like...

they did cross a line at some point and could not stop....like a drunk.
not that I would know anything about that...

I like the idea of doing something in the front and back trunk, but what I saw here was too much.
