I haven't really price shopped it out, but I was looking at it on the first site that came up, jpmcoachworks.com. I think one of these is a rare factory carbon look option.

PS: You probably want a matte finish, a finish that's reflective could be bad.

Looks like I'm not the only one who wanted sheet metal body kit!

It's a little wider than I like, but the work is admirable.

Been a little busy, but here some interior shots. Decided to go ultra suede. Came out decent. Better than the 20 year old plastic.

I think I'm done for now. Imma just drive the shit out of this thing. Finally....

That looks fantastic! Did you do the work yourself or did you send it to an upholstery shop? Either way it looks awesome and I'm not even a big suede fan! I'd be interested in the process though.

PS
Did you delete your ebrake??

I've been so busy, I just let a guy who does this crap do it this time. It doesn't seem that hard. You just need good glue. I had to get rid of the ebrake because I have a BBK in the back as well and it didn't come with ebrake. I carry a rubber triangle around everywhere I go and try not to park on hills.

That suede looks awesome.  Will it be durable?  A friend of mine did his 300zx interior panels in suede and it has become sun bleached.  Maybe a difference in materials?
