May be awhile before I do the rest of the interior. Just waiting for my dash now.

For anyone curious what this is costing me, it is around $900 US for the A pillars, armrests and door pocket felt for both doors, and the whole dash, not just the dash top.

Looks great! I am looking to do a similar project down the road. Did you use a local upholstery shop or a national chain? When you were considering the threading options, what lead you to white with the french double?

I am using a local shop. The stitching matches the OEM seats.

Looks good. That is one serious install if they have to take your dash out!

I took the dash out. Not a big deal, but actually taking it out is a 2 person job.

Just a couple things they will fix on the fit and finish but that will have to wait for now.

Outstanding work. So the double white stitching on the seats was OEM and you carried that throughout the rest of the car? Looks great and they did an excellent job along the dash edge seam in keeping everything aligned.
