Default Gave her a Bath and a New Red leather dress

Picked her up yesterday and gave her a bath to reveal her new red leather. When I bought it back in 2017 USB was my only color but wanted red interior but could not find one in the entire US in that color combo so I settled for black interior. Over the years I regretted not waiting till one came up and have been back and forth as have them redone. Searched Car-part for years for one with red but if I did find one every air bag was deployed and to pay 1-2K for those seats and then have to have them fixed was a big no.. So the search continued to find a local shop that could redo my seats and again every shop only dealt with classics. Finally I found a shop in Fort Lauderdale and the conversion began. I decided to stay with the OEM look and not go over the top with diamond stitching..two tone inserts and all that could be done. Its more of a Circuit Red than the Rioja Red..Enough typing and on the the pics..

For Sure!

@TarmacSL3 - It's a real shame you didn't go to SMU! An Ultrasonic Blue or Red leather micro-miniskirt in that passenger seat would look good!

Nicely done! I was hoping to see a little 2-tone styling similar to the beemers or the LC but it looks good, very OEM.

Christmas came early

Thanks everyone, like I said tried to stay OEM, only thing I did different was Black contrast stitching. I wanted to have the F Sport embossed in the headrests like the new ES F sport but it would have been stitching and I was not feeling it.
