cobrafan Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 John's, (GT500flyboy) pictures are probably a little better because he has a vert and you can see the overall effect much better. I tried to do close-ups of the transitions to give a compare and contrast of the two styles. I am glad I had them perforated. I am very, very happy with the end results. There are wrinkle as previously noted, but both Gary Disney, and the installer have convinced me that with a little heat and time they will be perfect. The installer told me it may take up to 60 days, and Gary said that if I am not happy, the installer will be able to fix it after some time. I was with the installer when he installed and he opted to not steam the leather, but rather to let it shrink naturally. He is a very experienced guy and I defer to his expertise. Black 40th Guys, this upgrade is an absolute must for you. I am tickled pink and thrilled with the effect on my Performance White coupe, but the black with silver insert on a black car will be friggin unbelievable, and my preference is not for a black car. One can admire beauty without owning it. The quality versus OEM is hands down 10X better. There is more of a grain to the leather, which I like, and the thickness of the leather is probably 50% more. The headrests match the grain perfectly, not the problem that SAI had with the Snake Logo through SPP for awhile. Comfort of the seats if fab. The bollards are much more pronounced and will keep you in place on the track. You may have an issue getting in and out of the car eventually. The foam in the seats, again, is no comparison to OEM. Much higher quality and more dense. It will not break down in my lifetime. This is a firmer seat and may not be to everyone's liking. For me, it's top of the line. This is one of those mods that you feel really good about. Good Show Shelby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT500FLYBOY Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Looks great, CF. Wish I had the perforated insert... Hey - little hint - you might edit your thumbnail links. Delete "?action=view¤t=" from them and the links will then simply show a new window with the pic - not a photobucket page. It's quicker. I don't know when photobucket started to include the extra commands in the link, though it's annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 You are not helping out my cause on this! Each fricken post on this interior makes me want it even more for my Black SGT! Now to wait out another discount and for the penny jar to fill-up. So now we have the option for the perforation? Is this extra? If so, how much?

The pictures do not do justice to the real McCoy. It will blow you away. You have the perfect combo for max effect. I think the perforation is $75 bucks or so.

500forme Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 CF, your correct, the price for the perforated inserts is $75.00. Thanks for the sterling review!

gt67 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Don, Congrats on your new interior. Your 40th keeps looking better and better. The perforated inserts were a good choice, they look just awesome. All you need now are those 6 piston calipers in the rear that you have been waiting so long for.

500forme Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Are the blue inserts a vista blue color? According to Gary, the blue is not as dark as the Vista Blue (because the dark interior needed contrast). However he assurred me that the blue material was not a sky or aqua hue. Gary said that it was simmilar to the Chrysler corporate blue, not sure what that means (Fiat blue now)? Having said that, I took Gary's word that it will look just right and ordered the blue seats.

sharon Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 These are awesome. My seats in my Terlingua did harden up with time. Now I just have to figure out what to clean them I want to keep the yellow clean for a long time and taking on the track with the dust and dirt gets them dirty. Any ideas?

I haven't given it any thought. I would think that a good quality leather cleaner/conditioner will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt67 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Gary P. let me sit in the red SS 427 at the 427 race and listen to that Kicker system. Don, it was just awesome. You will never hear any other system sound so sweet. Enjoy! Yes, HP white is the fastest color. I sent an email to Glenn at Quantum a few days ago to take my car in and have not heard back. Is he out of town or something? If you see him ask him to call, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
