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.
i managed to get mine on but i can't get the clips to go in on the stereo piece closest to the passenger side dash piece. no matter how hard i push it stays slightly raised up. Looks ok otherwise minus a little bunching up at the bottom left corner. Alcantara looks like it would've been a lot easier since it's so thin and i probably should've just went with that but o well

I agree, the leather is awesome and they even offer nappa leather as an upgrade. I love the ebrake and shift boots. the ebrake was also an art project but it was definitely a lot easier than the dash as it was already cut with notches in the edges to get it around corners and whatnot and there was no extra material hanging off. The shift boot was perfect and took all of 5 minutes to unclip the old one and clip the new one on.
