I don't have any more pics off hand right now, but I can definitely snap some more when I have a little free time. Shoot me a PM to remind me if I don't post anything up in a few days.

I was charged $310 for the whole deal which I think was really reasonable. And because I have the little seat heater switch recess, they put a patch of Alcantara there which really finishes up that area nicely.

I went with simulated leather rather than real leather, not so much because of cost, but because of durability - leather would require more meticulous care (cleaning/conditioning). I park outside at work and summers in the South are super brutal. Even though I'm pretty good about making sure my interior stays cool and shaded, it wouldn't be surprising to see some cracking over time. Not to mention it's way easier to match the rest of the JPM pieces when they're covered in the same material.

@sal: DSOmegaX is absolutely right. I just called and told the guys at @JPM Coachworks exactly what I wanted. They're super helpful and accommodating. :happy0180:
