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.

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.
