seats

slowly redoing my interior so its a little more comfortable to ride in.

suede and baby's bottom soft material.
i chose the center insert suede for grip since i drive it a little hard.














waiting on carpet, and have to redye some trim pieces and panels.. sigh, i hate doing these stuff... but gotto get done.

just bought some tint, and some body filler and hopefully paint soon.

they are re-upholstered.
my friend does them, and i chose the vinyl, suede, leather, color, material etc.. i m not sure what this would normally costs, but i was trying to keep it practical and cost was also a factor.

i drift a bit with windows down, so i dont break the windows with my helmet.. lol. in the event, tire rubber, smoke, dirt and dust gets in the car.
i wanted a material that brushed, and wiped off easy, and dont require much maintenance and conditioning like our oem or expensive leather which tend to crack with heat and time.

i paid $900 bucks for all this, two tone, stitched, arm rest etc.. other places i ve been were $1000- $2000 - not with the material i wanted even.

i m very picky, and its not ferrari quality, but for the price, time, and effortless on my end, i think it was a great deal for me.
