Adrian, your car looks awesome bro. I still remember when your car was stock and I kept telling myself." When is he going to fix that car up". Now look at it. I guess there's no avoiding the mod bug huh? Great work my friend......

The leather "padding" surrounding your subs make your whole trunk look a little messy. I think I prefer your before-pic better. Maybe something about the blue lining and the black leather that doesn't sit well with me.....

Everything else is beautiful, though.

Hey Adrian, great job. That leather piping looks awesome. The heat shield makes a huge difference. I think I am going to have to do that next Did you have the heat shield chromed also or is that how it came from steve? The trunk looks great too. Now you are definately ready for the shows

my guy is tom from palm beach auto trim, he more of an onsite place or at his home , in the day he does trim 4 car and boat dealers. and in the afternoon at his house. yes the seat had 2 b taken out and he needed 2 almost remove all the leather from the cushions 2 do the piping inbetween . i'm sure he could do the suede like u want, he doesn't travel that far down tho, he;s up here in palm beach. his pricing is crazy low. i paid $900.00 4 everything. the whole trunk. plus 2 customizing both headrest 2 looks smaller and hide the big outer bracket they came with and doing the pipeing throughout the car including both front and rear armrests..let me know xactly what u want and i'll ask him or if want 2 come up and get a quote.

Adrian

blue -

question about the heat shield... did you secure it to the engine bay at all or did you just shove the intake through and let it sit? i want to do the same myself, but i have been sitting here trying to figure out how to make sure the shield won't go anywhere.

about the new mods....great work! i'm extremely impressed...makes me want a GS even more.
