World's First G35 Diamond Stitched Custom Interior
#16
Thanks guys I really appreciate the kind words and I really anticipated this projec to be a great succss....it was a lot of headaches and planning to get everything right. The fact that I got all this done in a period of 10 days took a lot of coordination between the paint shop, the stereo guy, and Chuy. There is also a lot of photoshopping, visualizing, and planning on my behalf because I didn't really have a reference to what looked good (all in my head).
Where to put suede, where to put leather, where to put the logos, where to have double stitching, where to have single stitching, where to have diamond stitching....it was all a challenge. I am very happy how it turned out, now I smile even when I turn over for a split second to check blind spots (cuz i get a glimpse of my sexy **** interior).

if you look at your oem wheels, they are not stitched together with regular threads. It's like a rubbery, almost leathery thread that is very strechable and flexible. I know this because I bought a Honda leather wrapping kit back when I had my SI and i had to pull the chit out of it just to ge even close to a tight stitch. IMO, to duplicate that look would really lose out on the custom look. Besides, it requires a lot of stretching and pulling....and it would be a miracle if it didnt rip the material in the process. The stitch work on my wheels now are very complicated.....it took a long time to do and ver intricate, I wanted it like this

I like the diamond stitching. Overall I'm liking the interior, but somehow it's a bit of overload for me. I'll look at the pics again later and see if that perception changes, or if I can pinpoint why I'm feeling that. Oh, and do you have more pics of the steering wheel? Looks like there's a gap in the fitment on the right side?

I'll take better pix later or just leave it for the professionals. My picture skills suck and the lighting was horrible.
I'll try and get the steering shot to you, but as far as my touching it for the past 2 days, there hasn't been any gap,are you talkin about between the leather and suede and where it meets?
