Talking 22Elite Full Interior replacement finally came.

After placing this order with James a short time ago, my full Leather/Suede interior replacement finally arrived and boy did James put his heart into it. I went with Dk Charcoal leather (that matches the upper doors) and a slightly lighter gray suede for the inserts, doors, pillars, headliner, and rear deck. He also matched the stitching on the center console cover to the seats.... suede in the center and leather on the sides.
On all upper backs of the seats I went with an embroidery matching the front and rear wings of the cars Strut emblem. Similar to how Chrysler did the Chrysler wings on their OEM seats. I had to hand draw them on the computer to match perfectly since the wings arent part of the Strut logo. I also didnt want it to say "Strut" on it since they werent giving me anything so I just used the "S". Matches the first initial of my name and this way I can keep it similar to the Theme of the car.

Now, one question... who here in Southern Cal knows someone good and within reason of price to do the install? Someone who has done this car several times already? I know a LOT of you are people who know people!

Very cool Steven!
I can give you a couple names... these will not be guys that have done 300's, but that shouldn't be an issue. These are guys that do totally custom stuff, street rods, show cars... one of these guys will be doing my Nomad, hopefully very soon. PM me or I can give you the info at the meet.
(P.S. kiss the baby for meee)

That is some serious work! I really like how you brought the strut emblem to the inside of the car. Reminds me of the SRT8 seats in a way. How much did that setup cost you?

And for the install...you might want to take a second and look at the job yourself. Putting on seat covers is real easy and most are just attached with hog rings. Simple tools and some patience should do the trick...

Thank you everyone..
Diezel - Youd have to ask Aspen how much it cost. I ended up working with him on a project so I dont know what he charges on it.

Hemeee - thanks for the name. Send the rest of that info when you get the chance..

APBrian... been a LONG time my friend!

I'd hate to try and attenpt putting this in myself with the seat weight sensor, pillars, headliner... rear deck.... noooo thanks!
Hopefully I will find someone soon.
next stop... custom painted big brake kit.. maybe brembos! Rogue - thanks for your help with the color choice!
