Preview of what has been done to my TLS (interior shot)

I been quiet on the forums for awhile, doing HW what should be my next mod, I even consider selling my car, had a buyer on my a$$ for 2 weeks wanting to buy my car, cash in hands but at the end I decided to keep it & try to go a different route this year. For the moment I will just show you guys 1 single pic of my int, in a couple of weeks I will post pics & video of the outcome of the car, I got alot of good outstanding feedback on the int when people see it in person, tell me what you think... its different from any other TL & that is the route that I'm taking this year

Reminds me of the stuff they line those rooms in psychiatric wards to prevent patients from hurting themselves. I like it a lot though, great job OP!

My thoughts exactly Also, I guess it could possibly be leather? Either way, it looks soft and comfy

The material is suede, i didnt do leather because all i had in mind was just the sun beaming on the seat & burning my a$$, as for the color i told the shop i want something close to the original color of the type s seats since it is an original type s, as for comfort the seats are way more comfortable thren they were before.

How will the heating elements in the seat bottoms of the driver and passenger seats affect the suede?

This is so much better than that one yellow TL-S with the leopard vinyl(?) crap. Nice work.

I had it on the other day when it was cold out and it worked perfectly fine, I asked if certain jeans will also stain it & I was told no it won't so far they been good, I already had them for 3 weeks and not 1 issue, I heard other people complaining about their stiching falling apart or material falling apart, this guy is good before he did my int he was working on a 2012 Porsche and the work came out crazy, same patterns with the diamonds thru the middle with Orange leather & Black stichings

Type R yellow Acura TL-s - YouTube

To each their own, but there is nothing that catches my intrest on this TL, he/she could of spent that $ wisely & would of had something way better & probably had some extra $ to play with, but again everybody got their own unique style.... BTW thanks for the comment

LaCuRa, be sure to try the Multi-Quote button in the lower right hand corner of each post. You can respond to more than one person in a single reply, just like Post #14.

I personally like the seats even though I'm not into that whole VIP look, its something different and it definitely looks good. It's also a good thing you did the side door panels to match as well. I think you should re-do the black side bolsters and cushion cause they look worn in contrast to your new stitching.

Oh god, please no. When I see pictures of cars with pillows, curtains, and a tray table with bottles on it I just think to myself...WTF. As for the seats, not really my think but if you like it then all is good.

Na i'm not doing the pillows or tray table, the curtains I am looking into it but what i see it looks like the slider has to be glued on or screwd onto the door panel, so its not really pushing me into getting it

I paid $1000 just changed the middle & door panels, all the leather are still OEM, I was told no need to change since it was still in good condition, but he is going to charge me $1800 to do my whole int in the winter, compare to some prices other guys pay I am getting the same good quality at below half the prices some pay

I was going to re-do my int with red thru the middle with black diamond stitching and red stitching on the black leather, but now that I have new rims & new color I don't know if I am going to redo them now
