Default Blk interior with Blk/Blu suede swap complete. detail pics inside(kinda 56k friend)

After 2 months of waiting,diy-ing,customizing my complete swap to blk interior with added blk and blue sude is complete. if you speak to anyone who knows me they will tell you the pain i went through to get this done and done right. i wanted what was suppose to be factory to be factory or as close to it as possilbe without missing any details. details is what makes a job worth while when done. its the " you did that too?" thats makes it worth while for me and to anyone who does custom work. Again i really want to send a huge thanx to Alsilverbullet, D2-autosport, lexis11 and gammalex. Help and imput was really appreciated. well on to what was done. if you guys remember i had light tan interior on my blue gs. so take into consideration how many tan pieces(if you have or seen tan interiors) there are inside and around. also there are certain pieces that don't come in blk at all and those had to be custom dyed to match the oem blk pieces i bought..

what was done-

-Full Black leather seat replacements with closest matching Blue ultra suede inserts and blue stitching.
-All doors, dash, air vents, trunk/gas dr switch, e-brake release, hood release, seat belts, seat underhouseings, seat back houseings, side panels, kicker panels, basically anything that you can get blk OEM from the dealer was bought or taken from my old blk gs .
-Blk rug, OEM floor mats
-DIY Blk painted mirror
-DIY Blk seat belt board controler
-DIY Blk head visor mirror panels
-DIY Blk rear passenger headliner handles
-DIY Blk rear healiner dome lights panels
-DIY Blk moon roof handle
-Blk suede headliner, visors, front, middle ,rear pillars. Front armrest, top portion of rear armrest.
-2 Tone Blk and Blue suede rear deck.
-Custom matching Blk leather w/ Blue suede inserts baby seat. DIY blk babyseat belts.
-Blk Granite redesign (not stickers) of all door wood trims, center console, shift bezel, ashtray, shift ****(still waiting for this piece), dome light console, cluster and 3 pc. granite steering wheel rewrapped in blk leather.

A your interior looks very oem, the blue and black flow very well together and I'm a big fan of this look, glad to see your ideas finally came to fruition.
