Looks great! I have suede throughout my Z interior. Just be super careful not to get it dirty. Hopefully he told you how to take care of it? Very classy look.

I don't like it. it makes the plastics look even worse. and the bottom lip where the G has the brushed trim is wavy.

look at the bottom edge. it looks like a potato chip, and the dash looks like a panda trying to blend in, because of the dark plastics and tan suede.

tan does not go with grey plastic. I'm sure he has further plans.

No, I can see very well, just figured that your statement was pretty bold, being that he didn't ask for any opinions. The guy just got the G, and may not have had many options. Maybe, we can hire you to do some upholstery work

god I wish I could do my own upholstery work. that **** is expensive!!

but yeah, sorry for the unsolicited opinion. figure maybe he didn't notice and then he can complain and get it fixed. not the plastics but the wavy line. if it isn't just the angle.

YEA sorry i really dont have any. I have only had the car about a month and the airbag was deployed on previous owner / he bumped something and boom no body damaged maybe just a touchy sensor , and for motormouth yea man it is wavey and it drives me nuts but what are you gonna do the guy took over a ****ing week to do it and all he had to do was cover it and you really could't notice the wave until after i put it in . But its very rare thats everything will be perfect and sometime you just gotta deal with it or figure something out and it look a thousand times better than a big hole in the dash and it does match the pics dont do it justice

I have a guy that we sub the work out to. He does excellent work, and is well priced. I can hook you up with him directly, I will post his number when I get to the shop tomorrow.
