thank you sir. timing was good and we actually got it made and boxed tonight so it will be in the mail tomorrow, and you`ll see it in about 3 days. if you havent yet, breeze through the install section.

been sending out quite a bit of black alcantara lately so i`m guessing the boss wheels are getting installed. sent a brake cover to a guy in the mustang owners club of Great Britain, so we have shipped parts to about 6 countries so far. thanks to every one for spreading the word.
this person wanted a shorter shift boot and wanted us to install it on the trim ring. we can do that
rumor has it weve been working on a padded leather armrest cover for the 2010+ cars. after not thinking we could do much, we have made a awesome looking cover and are shipping it out this week for evaluation. thanks to pete for shipping us his armrest lid from his 2012.

Wow! I sure am glad the online store site wasn't designed by the same person who did your main site.
Pink and yellow letters on a Black background? I thought I was going to have a seizure.
Seriously though, your upholstery work is amazing!
Do you have any pictures of the different leather colors you work in?
I have a custom black/blue interior in my GT/CS and would generally like things to match.
Here's a pic of my interior, (yes the stitching is blue):

thank you very much. we put some serious quality into the parts and marcy is top notch on the machine
we have not had any color choices in the leather until today!! we now have access to authentic OEM 05-09 interior pebble grain leather. i have charcoal and med parchment (also referred to by fords as camel) on the way here. it will be a perfect option that ive been trying to get for the last year. it will cost a little more than the aftermarket leathers we have been using, but will be priced the same as the glove leather option we have so not too much more for the oem material. interior color and texture will be a exact match to the seat leather. next up will be the med dove gray, the crimson red and the light stone.
with that said, the aftermarket pebble we have is super nice, has a very close to oem pebble grain on the interior but is smooth and soft to the touch. we also sell a equal amount of the smooth leather we have. its stiffer when its new, takes longer to relax but breaks in and softens up with conditioner and age and does look real good.
we are also excited and almost ready to add the padded leather armrest covers for the 2010-2012 mustangs to the lineup.

Is there a page somewhere that shows all the leather options and alcantara options together? I am looking at getting the GT500 Alcantara/Leather steering wheel and if i do, i can going to get the shoft boo, 3/4 e-brake cover and padded centre console in alcantara/leather, but I need to see better all the colours, so that I know which colour/style to go with.

Do you know where that one page is though showing the comparisons betweeen the different leather option #'s?
Here is a small suggestion for your web site. Look at creating a photobucket account and store the pictures of your completed work. On your main page where you have the links for the different forums, put a link to the photobucket account. this will help people see your work. In photobucket, you can create albums for the different pieces.
Photobucket accounts are free to create for a 2gb account. If you need more, you can pay a small yearly fee to get more space like $30 for 20gb.
This would greatly help people see all your work.

thanks sean. ive been kicking around a couple ideas like maybe adding another page to the website for customer pics ( and ive been saving pics that get posted into a file). the outside source is a good idea too. colors and pics are very hard to show on the computer. they give a idea but thats about it.

Hi Mike,
Did you get my PM with my shipping details? I rally need to get moving on ordering everything, but want to make sure I get the right material. I have just over a month to get a lot of things finalized on the car for the Detroit Autorama.
Thanks,
Sean

another increase but on a good increase note, i just got the charcoal and med parchment factory oem pebble seat leather in today. it will be priced at our glove leather prices, so just a slight increase over the aftermarket leathers. i`ll have it on the options of the parts on the store page in the next couple days. let me know if you want a sample of it.

Thats okay for me. I live right next to Detroit, and there is a special mailbox company over there just for Canadians (Detroitmailbox). I'll just have it shipped to them and save a few bucks. Can't wait for the sample, so that I can get this going.
i did and the samples went in the mail today(tues). i do have some bad news though, the us postal service just made a huge increase for international shipping. shipping outside the us will now be extra and will run between $6.00-$12.00 above what we were already paying. depending on weight. i`m really disappointed for the size of the increase, and we just cant absorb that at our prices. i think they are trying to put me out of business. i`ll be looking for any alternative solutions right away.

When you sent the samples, did you by chance include a piece of the OEM material?
I have the GT500 Recaro seats in my car and I am going to get the 2010+ GT500 Steering wheel and I just want to make sure on what leather/alcantara matches it.
I have the Option 1 leather from you and the colour matches, but the grain doesn't. Is option 2 the same colour as 1, but with just a different grain. It is hard to tel from the pictures above. Is option 2 technically the same as the OEM material?
Thanks,
Sean

with the black alcan i would say more people have gone with the aftermarket pebbble, we have sold alot of that leather. it was the best choice we had to match the interior texture, untill now with the OEM Charcoal leather.
the glove leather we have is a little darker than the smooth and pebbles and really goes good with the black alcan and we have sold a few sets of that combo. so we have put a few choices out there, they all look good. i mailed you a sample of the OEM leather.
