They also restuffed the seats. The support and comfort are better then stock LS400 seats for sure!

Absolutely love it! The interior, the lights, the wheels, the shocks, the paint.....your car is really coming together! I am totally jealous

Did you get your wheel and your shifter recovered too at some point?

Pete, I'm speechless...I've seen this car go from "ashy" to "classy" :eek: :eek: :eek:

When do I get a ride? $1050 installed? Was that including the price of the leather kit? Did they redo the armrest too?

Do you know how to crop pictures?

Thx guys!

GA400. I am just going to get a new one. Good that you mentioned it. I can go to that upholstry shop and see what they say about it.

Anton. $620 the kit + $400 labour, carpet painting etc. He wanted $325 but the tip was $75 for the good work.

I have ordered tghe kit from these guys: www.autoaccessoriesrusfl.com/

You can pretty much order any pattern in any color from any material. When you buy make sure you tell them that you have cloth interior. This way you get free door inserts and center console. The new interior makes so much difference!

Hey you dont' have the full power tilt steering either!

Your car looks identical to mine inside (except colors) but you have better brakes. ;-(

Wonder if I can upgrade to 1992 dual piston caliper..

My car is '91 and I have no complains about brakes at all. I might take an easy route and go with Supra brakes instead of Brembo / AP.

P.S. I use stock pads.
