How well does the stitching match the stitching on the seats?

when you look at it closely, you can see that the stock stitching is more of a bright, almost somewhat pinkish red while the red stitching that was used on my boots is more of a pure red. The only part you would actually notice it against though is the stitching on the brake handle (on the brz). otherwise no one will ever notice. They do offer plenty of thread colors though so there's always the option of just going with black or anything else.

added a picture of the 2 installed together on the first post. Gluing the brake boot down wasn't a problem but when trying to clip it back into the center console, the added thickness of the leather makes it a huge pain. I had to really press hard on it to get it down and secure but it came out pretty nice

Redline Dash Cover

Received the dash covers from Redline today. Quality is fine but I think the BRZ radio in Europe must be a little smaller.

that doesn't look like it was cut right at all. there's a huge amount of extra material around the edges and it's not cut to leave room for the clips at all. I just emailed them to see if yours was a mistake or what the deal is.

I installed the dash cover and it looks fine - except the BRZ is slanted. I have purchased from Redline before and never had any problems up until now. The cutout for the radio was too small but that is a problem I can understand given that different countries have different radios. But the slanted BRZ was something that should have been discovered before shipping. Also I don't see how it is going to be possible to have both the radio cover and the dash cover on at the same time.

The stitching looks like it's crooked too. That thing would cause an OCD seizure like no other.

That's what I was saying earlier. You're honestly better off ponying up a bit more and going with JPM. You don't have to worry about crooked stitching, installing the material yourself--plus they guarantee fitment. There's a reason redline is cheaper. Granted, the shiftboot is only $10 cheaper from redline and probably negated in shipping cost.

I think the stitching is straight just not installed straight. Wasn't that easy to install.

I just did mine and the stitching isn't perfectly straight. Installing it is such a pain and I couldn't get it lined up properly. It looks decent but I'll go JPM Coachworks in the future as they pre-install it onto the plastic piece so all you do it plug it in. Pics of my install on my build thread in my signature.
