I admire the work you did but you downgraded your dash! You had the all leather dash and door panels and went to the subpar plastic dash and door panels for the sahara beige color. I like the color but not the downgrade in material.

Well that Cosmo Beige/Black color combo do not exsist in leather so the choise was easy,The leather is not as importent to me as the color combo. And there is still leather details on it both on the dash and door panels. Anyone want to buy the grey in ALL LEATHER.

Did you get the chance to replace the leather on the other seat yet? I'm just curious to know what is involved to replace the leather.

Curious as to why you just didn't try and find a car that had the interior and exterior color you wanted instead of changing everything.
