looks nice.

What paint did you use on the calipers? Looks like it matches up well.

Here is a quick shot of the interior. I have part of it back part and there are some things to work out and I want to put up a shoot when I'm really done (not that the work is ever REALLY done on a car) but here is a preview:

the blue suede is ultra sueda and the color is "Royal blue." It's $50 a yard but definitly worth it

I look around for alcantara and it is rather dificult to find. I found this at a local fabric store. "ultasuede" is a tradmarked name and easy to get an exact match. The store I found had a roll so I could go back and get more if needed.

if you go to Alcantara.com, the OFFICIAL Alcantara website, they have authorized distributors on there.

it matches prefect in most light. I am very very happy with it.

It wasn't that bad really. You have to shave down the plastic spots were the tack the 2 panels together. I would suggest using "fabric tack" and spead it over the fabric on the door. Much easier to work with and drys slower then the spray stuff. Tack down one edge and let it dry to have a good place to start. Then make sure you use very small screws with big threads and a wash to put it back together. I used a dramel to "shave off the tops of the "plastic welds" and then that is perfect for screwing it back together. My wife did the wrapping so I'm not too sure about that but it came out mint.

I have just about finished all the projects that I have been working on for the past 4 months.

I am going to take a number of pictures at the 6 Flags - Dream Night event this friday.
I'll post'em up/
