QUOTE(roundtwo @ Mar 25 2026, 01:41 PM)  QUOTE(tygaboy @ Mar 16 2026, 04:31 PM) Tom (the upholstery guy) sent me this in-process pic that he described as "Half way, OK, maybe a third of the way through the mud wrestling process of getting the seat cover on..." I greatly appreciate the behind the scene look at how this stuff comes together. Seat heat or lumbar support perhaps...the wiring lead? Looking perfect for the car @roundtwo Heated seats |

Today I went and picked up the car since it needs to go to paint before we can finish the upholstery. I'm at a loss for words when I try and describe just how good this looks. Tom (the upholsery guy) knocked it out of the park.

Simply stunning! The hardware, too.
I assume this will go into some underground nitrogen-filled vault. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Looks so good with the contrast of the metal work...the mix of textures accentuate eachother (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
