Wired up all the electronics today. The AFC worked great, car didnt stall out at all. AEM Wideband is looking good. I wired the AFC to pull the Air flow values from the AEM so thats gonna definitely help while tuning the car.
The boost, oil pressure and oil temp gauges are wired but I need to buy 2 new hoses for them, so maybe later this week or when I start the turbo.
The empty pod is going to be filled with an AEM Tru-Boost once I get one. I know I already have a boost gauge but I was getting it for the scramble boost and boost control features + whatever other features were on there.

Leathers for the rear are DONE. Took me about an hour for each one. The hardest part of the install was getting the old leathers off.
I'm going to tackle the fronts when I have more energy. Maybe tomorrow.
What a DRASTIC change. Despite the wrinkles in a few areas it STILL looks freaking great.
One thing to note about the kit. They dont use as many rods as the OEM covers so you have to resort to clamping onto the extra leather. BUY EXTRA HOG RINGS!!!

I started on one front and got it done. It came out OK. I made a few mistakes here and there but I got it done and it looks decent.
Im going to make sure not to make the same mistakes on the driver seat. I used my tan 96 pass seat since the one that came with the car had dead motors. So I need to swap that tan trim bezel or ill just paint it.
HUGE NEWS
My turbo kit MAY be here tomorrow, waiting on confirmation from todd. My intercooler piping came in today + my front wheels should also be here by the end of the week!
So by next week the car should be ON THE ROAD and ready to roll. Stay tuned for TONS of pics from the turbo install.

It feels SOFT and luxurious like it should. They're even nicer than the seats I had in my 400 and 400 had nice seats...
Im tempted to sit in them naked to see how they really feel. LOL.
Even with my botched install they still look great. Ill have some more pics when I finish the driver side seat and fix up the rears.
