Definetly adds contrast !

On a seperate note, I noticed the upgraded fog lights and rear tailights from an 06-08 model.

Was that a total bitch to do? Was there a lot of wiring harness complications ? I have a SSM 05 6MT TL and I was considering upgrading the ext. to a 06-08 refresh.

Other than that, the car looks good !

I agree that 2 tone would've looked more to my liking. But the real question is, how the hell do you drive in seating position like that?!

I don't know how I feel about the all red seats, I don't think I would do them like that. And in some of the pictures it looks like the paint is fading and stock black can be seen coming through. But that took balls to do so

I personally wouldn't have painted the entire seat red, but the quality looks pretty good. Definitely looks OEM.

looks like good work but i personally dont like how the red contrasts so much with the blue dash lights. can you put the type S red instrument panel in? i think that would look better. altho the reds might clash.

Looks very German sports sedan-ish. A bit too red in my opinion. But excellent quality!

Nice job with the leather, but can you tell me where you got that mesh for your grill?

Defintely not my taste but your execution makes it look like a genuine OEM option.

Looks nice...you did a gr8 job...if it's paint I don't see it lasting long at all...if it was never sat in or touched I can see it lasting...but for a daily driver, not gonna last. IMO though. To each his own.

looking through some random threads i ran into this one. this thread is one of the first threads i looked at before i joined this forum. i thought the red seats looked really good so i think this deserves a bump. maybe it will inspire someone to approach this job
