    There is no doubt that is some high quality stitching, I as well like the design although i am one who strays away from the light color (shows dirt) so that would not work for me. one other thing i think that i would of tried to get done is take the hump out the back seats.
    55 Belair 2dr Sedan 350/350 loving every minute of it.
    56-210 2dr Sedan c4 front/rear suspension, and not sure when the ride will roll.

    That's fine, but to me it blocks your view from back window and that flat look of the package tray is lost.

    I didn't get any more pics at the show, but the ones that Lee T posted are the same car.

    The lexus seats come out of an early 2000's 2 door. (can't remember the model) because you need seats in a 2 door that can fold forward considerably.

    The stock Lexus seats have headrests. They would definitely look goofy in a tri 5. I liked the way they incorporated "humps" instead of actual headrests, as this helps stabilize your head just a bit. Without the headrests, there's absolutely NO support if you ever get hit from behind. The way Elegant Interiors did the built in head humps appeals to me. It's a subtle solution to no headrests.

    CNut- yes...the stitching and materials and overall build looked like OEM in todays cars to me as well. That's probably why I liked it so much. Definitely going to discuss my Nomad plans with these guys when I get to that point.

    Paul, I agree with you on the humps. I don't like headrests in these cars, but those humps look good to me. I also like the contrasting stitching on the french seams and he did an awesome job fitting the leather. So many interiors I see have wrinkles and pleats that look bad. I didn't like his other interior jobs nearly as much.

    This interior is making me wonder if I really should change my color scheme or not. I didn't want too much charcoal in it but this 2-tone is really nice. I have pretty much everything designed except my seats, and my interior guy is pushing me to do that.

    As for the Lexus seats, I think they're a bit too small for these cars but I have seen them in a few tri5s. I have a pair of 90's SC300 seats that I decided not to use in favor of my Eldo seats which are just a little bigger.

    Here's a couple pics of the Lexus seats:

    And here's the Eldo seats:

    It's a shame these images have so much noise in them - destroys the apeal.

    I really Like it , But some don't . Like Rick says, It's what make the world go around. It's also what makes us still look and build cars & trucks.
