I sprayed the rims today and the steering wheel but I chose to use Pearl white instead of the original ivory look. The picture does not do it any justice but its just to give you an Idea of what they now look like. :mrgreen:

Hey junior, why don't you finish off your doorcards in the same fashion as your seats? I mean, throw some stitches into it and make it look OEM. I am liking your color choice for the car. So looking forward to the completed project.

Oh...remember to put a REFLECTIVE "L" sign at the back :hangloose:

Thanks :hangloose: :hangloose: And YA I need to do some thing about those door panels. The only problem is if I want them to have stitches in I will have to learn how to sow and that is taking it next leve :lol: l but I will play around and see what I end up with :D
