Flashy is a guy with a 750hp twin turbo lexus sitting on staggered 12" rear hi polished wheels. Dropped to a zero gap with a full kit and toms bracing etc. That could be considered flashy.
Louis Vuiton and Gucci interiors are tasteless. But like you said we all have our own opinion.

Yea that just proves my point...Because that wouldn't be flashy at all in my eyes. I took a looked at your profile just out of curiosity and as I expected you're a little older. I'm pretty sure the guy who wants the lv interior is in his teens or twenties(correct me if i'm wrong). All i'm saying is that people are different and think different things are "cool", lol. It would look pretty silly to see a person your age with lv interior, so i understand where you're coming from. This is turning into sociology class so i'll just leave it at that...lol

If you get into doing the seats, it can be a fairly big job by the time you remove & reinstall them. As far as the headliner, the biggest chore is getting it out of the car... windshield or rear glass removal is helpful.
The guy that did my suede inserts was cursing Lexus for doing such a good job with the stitching. He said he had never seen factory stitching that was that good. It took a bit of work to replicate the "gathered" look of the stock leather inserts, but it came out well. This was a two day job...
I'm an old white guy, so I wasn't going for the designer patterns. Too "busy" looking, too trendy.

Those are the OE seat covers: he removed the insert sections and replaced the leather with suede. If I had it to do over again today, I would have looked at the leatherseats.com seat cover kits; it's nice to have ALL new leather.

I kind of think that the LV, Coach etc brand fabrics for the interior are more towards the girly end. Like, I do have a Coach wallet but it doesn't have the C's all over it. I believe that girls like to show off with the brand more than guys. Just my opinion.

Once again...I was commenting on the quality of the work. I don't care if it had the ninja turtles on it, that doesn't change the fact that it was very nicely done.
