Hi everyone. I don't post very often, but thought I'd share my pix with you. I purchased my new BOM in June '08. These pics were mostly taken then, but lately I've had some interest expressed in seeing pix of the black leather interior so I figured I'd post some. New wheels, tint, and a dash kit are in the plans very soon, so I'll update when that happens. So far I just have black leather interior, and custom floormats.

 

I'm feelin the leather interior...nice mod.

 

Ooooh, I want leather... But I don't have 2K to spend on it. Yours looks like it fits nicely, no excess sag.

 

Looks really good!!!

 

Thanks for the positive comments...I can't wait to do a few more mods, I have an extensive list. I'm hoping to get some things done before summer for sure.

 

firefly, sweet pics bro!

 

Actually I'm a girl, but thanks.

 

nice, the interior looks clean!

 

Leather is good...looks great!

 

oh damn! lovin the leather

 

Black leather and no tint, in Alabama, in the summer...... You must love contact burns on your thighs girl. Go get that thing tinted STAT. Looks really really classy BTW I like it a lot.

 

wow... those seats look great!... make me want to get them done like that... I have seen some jobs that look like shit... that leather is cut and stretched right... what about the rear seats?

 

My fault. That is one nice ride you got!

 

LOL, you're sooo right!
Tint is a must before summer. Its my next mod along with new wheels. I'm not going thru that again!



No problem.

As for the leather, they did do a really good job. I may have a pic of the backseat area somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. Thanks again for all the positive feedback.

 

looks great keep it up

 

I personally don't like the heat that comes with leather, but that's frigggeeennn niceee!!

 

Couple of more pics-rear area. My white balance was off a little on these so the color appears more gray in the foreground, but you get the idea. The floormats are dk graphite with silver piping. In hindsight, I should have gone with black instead of graphite on those, but they still look pretty good in person.

 

does the leather block your airbags?

 

i hope not...that would be a pretty bad design flaw.

 

I believe there are pressure points associated with the airbags activation which is why I wanted it done thru the dealer. But no, I don't believe they were affected.
It is my understanding, that most cars built overseas, even those that offer leather as an option, have it installed AFTER they are taken off the ship. I know this because several years ago my boss ordered a fully loaded Toyota Sequoia thru a dealership out of state. He just picked his colors etc. It came with leather as an option which the dealer said would be installed after it was taken off the ship. He learned later that a local dealer that serviced his vehicle, told him the quality of leather is actually better on aftermarket than what he got.

Also, I think there was a thread on this on the forum, way back somewhere. There's a few other members who've done this & I remember reading about it when I bought my Fit.
