    I had one issue regarding the leather puling away from the carbon fiber seat backs plus a personal desire regarding the luggage deck.

    I took the car to Fred Cooney in Reisterstown, MD (Baltimore northern suburb) who diagnosed the problem as too few clips used by Ferrari and repaired the seats with clips from earlier Corvettes. Problem solved. Fred was recommended by Richard Garre of Radcliffe.

    On the personal note I wanted to do the luggage deck in a cross stitch in tan with red stitching to match the interior and cover the ugly child seat anchor Fred made the template of a fiberglass so that the finished product is held nicely by the existing straps. No glue is involved in case the car is sold and the new owner would want to go back to the original black carpet treatment. The result is amazingly OEM like.

    Fred has the template should anyone else have a similar idea. No photos yet but owners will know what I mean. Fred's number is 443-8315171.
