Leather looks VERY nice. All it needs now is a targa top.

KamalT · 08-08-2012, 10:13 PM

Thanks guys for the comments,

Car has the curves for targa, hopefully they release one like the Porsche targas in 80s era

Surok · 08-08-2012, 10:32 PM

targa top is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lame.

That looks superb.

The company that did the leather, did they offer any options with what you can have done? I'd love to be able to spec my own interior.

KamalT · 08-09-2012, 07:36 AM

To be honest I am not sure, but it probably can be done. Had no input. Dashboard costing will be on the high side because they will have to remove it first then wrap,then reinstall. The other issue that was encountered was the rear centre tunnel. It is carpeted. I'll have a better idea of how it all fits and compltee leather then

Got the car and finished work early so I can register it.

The leather, what can I say. Words cannot describe. The feeling is sooooooo nnnnnniiiicccccceeeeee. There are some issues that I would like to address on it though. First up, the door piece does not look right. They should have covered the around that area as currently it does not look right. Next will be the the top of the dashboard, but it does not look to bad.

How does it look. With the leather, like a mini Austin from the front. Also car is tinted you can barely see the leather. I also like the GT lights as well as it does not seem to distract the looks of the car with the LED. It seems to blend with the car, please no bashing, my personal opionion.

Before I got my current family car, new baby, I had a R32 skyline with Tein racing suspension. I can say that the standard setup with the Super Sport3 tyres, this car seems to be better with the little chucking around the corners I have done so far.

Standard Interior: Wife asked why it does not g and the dash seems too bland and why there is no sporty lights. She also asked where the heated seats where and why I did not get the ones with heated seats. ANSWER: weight and waiting list.
Next mod in the near future though is the GTS dashboash, anyone willing to part with theres

Car was not washed from the dealer so went out and got a waterblaster with the foamer and varible pressure and meguires Gold shampoo, much better.
Kim from RedlineCarCare coming next Friday to detail and 1st stage paint correction. I noticed as I washed the car the bonnet had some hard sediment on it. Did not want to remove till Kim looked at it.

The sounds cheap, can the standard headunit accept an amp??

Also there is a cable in the glove box, anyone knows what this is for??

First mod: Visconti STG1 tune. On its way to Oz.

Nope doesn't have rca inputs for an amp. Run them with a splitter line level converter from head unit cables or door speakers.

Never got a cable in my glove box ..

mmm love the leather. Any idea if I can contact the dealer to get some made for me? I want black leather though

KamalT · 08-21-2012, 03:18 AM

The company is called ammon leather. They stock about 6 versions of black. Schwartz was true black and it is also perforated as well. But after seeing mine i am happy i did not choose perforatred.

I would recommend it to anyone except for those few issues i have
