Laika is being a little too critical of Redline. The leather they use is first rate and the stitching is almost identical to JPM (I have a couple of their products). You save money by having to install the leather yourself and also not having to buy the replacement part. If you take your time and do a careful installation you should be alright.
From the pictures it looks like they did a good job on the passenger side panel but the headunit panel looks pretty poor. It's obviously a difficult piece with all the curves. It's just a matter of how particular you are. This would bother me to no end but I'm a bit nutty.

Jpit it looks like the material is kind of bunched up to the left of the headunit in your picture. Is this just a fitment thing or do you think it would be fixed if you removed the panel and stretched that part then secured it with a proper glue gun or equivalent?

I think redline is on the right track and a few pointers (from someone qualified, not me) away from making a great looking cover. I'd be extremely eager to get the pieces for the low price that redlinegoods is offering but I'm going to wait and see if they figure out how to make it more aesthetically pleasing.
