Good looking interior. I need to I stall my Katzskin interior. What do you think of the Seat shop durafoam? My driver's side is shot and I may do the passenger side just because. Any regrets or should I say is the foam an acceptable quality? I want it a lil stiffer than stock.

So far I like it you can definitely tell a difference with the stock phone and a new seat cover from the seat shop it wasn't even tight so I ordered the new seat foam and then I can barely get it on. On mine I also had an extra seat so I took the springs and the wire net underneath one of the other seats and installed it on my driver's seat so I have Double Springs and double wires underneath it I just drilled new holes in between the springs that were already on there and put the new setup right next to it so hopefully it's not too stiff I haven't drove on it yet also the wire rod that goes side to side underneath the seat in the springs hooked to it tears away from the cheap seat frame so I had to hammer the little tabs back shut and then I drove a couple holes and tide around them so it couldn't stretch open anymore.

I don't know what I'm going to do with it but it needs something that's for sure. The grey looks crappy on it it would look good if it was black so maybe I'll try to mask off the wood and paint doll the gray on it.

The grab bar on the dash is just temporary. Somehow I ended up with an extra one so I painted it black the same time and threw it in for now. The upholstery guy was supposed to you wrap another one for me and have it done that I haven't heard from him yet. I'm starting to think I need to buy a sewing machine and give this shit a real shot LOL I don't think it's that hard if you know how to sew

Got one of the pillars wrap took me two and a half hours to do it total pain in the ass. I tried yesterday and ended up pulling it back off and throwing the leather away cuz I don't like the way it was coming out. Leather only stretches one way so going against it on a deep curve like that is not easy. Especially by yourself! It took alot of muscle to get the bottom portion done and it still has some stress Mark's in it but it's the best I could do. That was with golfing about an inch or two at a time and letting the glue tack really well.

I also found out the hard way that the sun visors do not come apart like I thought they did. Sometimes some Vehicles they snap together and you could wrap on yourself which I thought these did but boy was I wrong. At least it was on a spare visor I had so it's no big deal. I think I'm going to send them in to get recovered. I found a place when I was searching it on Google that does them. I'm also going to get rid of the second little mini visor that goes up underneath it so that it's just a single I never use that second part hell I never use the visor at all.
I see you're starting to find out how many pieces make up an interior of an SUV. I watched another person change an entire interior color scheme and it was a lot. Good job so far, keep it up.

So I'm still tossing around the idea of painting the door panels either black with letter inserts like I did hear and covering the armrests in matching leather or maybe it will look better with the door panels color matched with black inserts and armrests. Keep in mind all the pillars are wrapped in leather. Give me your honest opinion on what color combo you like best
