For a 13+ year old car, the leather held up pretty good. But, it could use a re-dye of SEM beige to really freshen them up. Might be worth replacing the leather all together but that's up to the owner of course. Either way, I really like the color combo and suede arm rest.

I did the central console trim in 3M di-noc.

It came out pretty nice. However, I left it out in the sun for a day and the vinyl got crumpled around the corners because of the heat.

Before I re-install this, is there any way I can reinforce the vinyl so this doesn't happen? I am thinking some super glue around the corners. Hopefully someone has a proven solution.

Thanks.

Is it hard to cut out around the indicator lights on the console and make it look good?

CF Dinoc only looks good with gray and black interiors. It looks dumb in tan ones, just my opinion of course.
Wish I had a picture of what my seats used to look like.. haha. Same thing. I used to tell people I had a pet Tiger... lol.

On another note! Looks great w/ the grey interior!

I had this happen in a few locations. I just got my heat gun out and re-heated theses areas and used my straight edge to flatten them down again. Has not popped back up since. IN your case if that does not work, some sort of adhesive might be in order.
