    Time to redo my 308, she's black now with black interior w red piping & red carpets

    I want to redo her in azzuro california with blue carpets & do the the seats & door panels in a light grey which is a lot friendlier for Miami weather.

    How much of a pain will this be, who redoes door panels & the center console etc
    Thanks

    Do you want it all original Ferrari stuff? Or just do it how you want it.
    Had the interior of a 78 Lotus redone... dash out, everything done by hand, new leather, vinyl on the dash (does not shrink and pull quite like leather), nothing done like the original should be ('cause it was UGLY). Cost about 10K with all the odds and ends.

    I bought carpet and a door panel kit from:
    www.gahh.com
    It was very good quality stuff. They also have the console and seat kits. I installed the stuff myself or any decent shop could do it. I had a local shop recover the dash and armrests. they recomended use Harley Davison seat material because it is more UV stable, it looks good and very similar to the original.

    Matt at re-originals will probably have everything you need.

    www.reoriginals.com

    Great guys, great products. Because he gets his stuff from Italy, it does require some patience, but well worth it.

    Did my Dino with his stuff, and it looks great.

    Hi William....you might also check with Martin....he used a place down there near you to completely reupholster the dash (and redye the seats) in the TR shortly before I bought it...and it looks fantastic IMHO.

    Unfortunately, I don't have my receipts folder here at the office, and I don't recall the name of the shop...but I'll check tonight and post the info. for you if you'd like.

    Jeremy Lawrence here in Houston had a shop in Lousiana do his 308 seats with new leather, matching the harringbone patter off the original, for about $600/seat.

    Look on JRV's site and search for it on the general board. Pictures and address are there.

    William, I went to Rayco to get an estimate for new carpets (synthetic, but same look as Wilton ) it was about $1000.00 Needless to say I didn't do it.A Wilton wool carpet set costs about 800.-1000. apprx. Still I hear they do good work. I've opted to steam clean my carpets, Eddie Fiuzas doing it.If they come out good(which I'm sure they will) I'm done, if not then I'll think of replacement.
