    After waiting for five months, I finally got my interior back from the shop. I like to thank Jim Bath for helping me figure out the right color/shade that my car originally has as the PO dyed the leather to a darker shade. Got new AC plate from Italian Car Parts and a set of new unscratchable plate for the fan, hazard, wiper speed, and the single plate for Rear-Def from Unobtainium (Verell). Everything is put back together now and Im a happy camper.

    Looks real good. I did it the hard way. I refinished every single panel with a matched kit of Leatherique.

    Hey Mike,
    Your interior looks great.
    Pardon my ignorance, but what are you holding in pic #7?

    Looks just fantastic

    I did this back in 2002 and the first thing I did was buy those tan Ferrari seat covers. I didn't even want to sit in there, just look at it.

    Those covers really helped. I always pull them off the show the car and sometimes I take off the passenger side if it's just me on a trip - but consider getting some of those. They have kept them looking new for 15 years.

    Looks so very nice. Must be wonderful to have that interior after years of debating/wanting/ worrying if it'd be done right. Great job!

    Thanks everyone for the
    Compliment. And Duane, you ask about the smell? Oh let me tell
    you, it's like sitting inside a brand new 308 at the dealers show room, it smells new and wonderful. This is as close as I'm going to get to a brand-new 308. :)

    Did I miss it? No mention of the shop that did the work. I would love to have them restore my door panels. What a beautiful interior Mike! I had my seats redone several years ago and don't have the horse impression on my headrests. Would like that done as well.Help me out brother! :)

    No problem Chuck! The shops name is Arthur's Upholstery in Pasadena, CA
    Arthur does great work but sometimes can take him longer than usual to
    finish.
