Default Talk about a teaser- suede interior...

The interior isn't 100% finished (audio/video and new wood treatment to come), but I thought I'd put a teaser of my own out there. Last week I had the OE seat inserts recovered in suede- the grey/taupe color matches the darker portion of the dash and upper doors. It's subtle, but I couldn't talk myself into doing a loud blue color- guess I'm getting old.

Enjoy!

very nice. subtle touches like that are what makes a fine vehicle stand out IMO. Did you go with the perforated suede by any chance?

Looks very nice, I would like to see some pics with different lighting to show the contrast between the suede and leather. It must feel very nice to the touch though. Leather and suede are a nice combo.

Never seen a leather/suede combo in any Lex interior, but this is certainly budding proof of great things to come. Glad you chose grey/taupe color instead of the blue (that would scream NYWIZ to most of us)

I sure hope you are a clean clean man coz that suede will just absorb ALL the dirt that's thrown into it! But the price we pay for beauty.....

That looks awesome!! Great, now my mind is polluted with ideas!!! I have a concern about how durable the suede is for a car that is driven daily like mine???
