It's all in the prep. The better the prep, better the finish.

This is what I mean. I rushed it one night and a month later it started flaking.

Thats what you get for rushing it mane! Just kidding. Whats your plans for the seats? I have the same color combo in mine, but a different look. I also SEM'd all of my leather. Its still looks good, and its my daily driver.

I plan on getting Supra seats. I have never liked the stock SC seats. Probably because I came from a STi seat in my Subaru.

you did a good job-----its always nice seeing things done properly

do I think the sem is a permanent and fail safe fix?no---but it does look like it holds up very well---if u have to do some touch ups over time doesnt seem like that big of a deal.

thanks for sharing--and the black carpet was a great finish to everything
