Thats some nice work! Can't wait to see it all buttoned-up!
I've had the same idea since I've owned mine, but have never got around to doing it. It reminds me of a baby DBS. Very classy!

I read the door panel removal thread a while back. I just remember you pop out the SRS cap and there is a screw under there. Good Luck!

I just gave my door panels in today! They should be done by Friday!

I found out the they can't put leather on the center console because it would stop some of the buttons from popping back out when I push on the buttons due to the leather being wrapped around the edges. So that's a no go unfortunately, but they are going to paint it so that it looks like a wooden texture. Black and grey. So we'll see how that turns out.

I'll keep it updating! Almost down to the seats and the dash board!

Got my interior door panels done in suede! They look incredible! Especially the arm rest part, probably was the most difficult part. They had to pop out the panel and hot glue it back on after it was done. Very nice job. These guys definitely know what their doing.

Pictures to follow in a few hours!

This looks really good, but the pictures are a little dark. I took the liberty of lightening up the pictures so that they do a better job of showing this modification, I hope you do not mind.
I used Picasa 3, a free program, not the best by far but I just lightened them and used auto contrast

If you're taking out the dash, I would have them do the center console as well since the sides get all messed up and start to peel and also the glove box and area around the steering wheel so it all matches. Should be one trick interior. Around where the seatbelts go, I'd see if he can sew in regular leather or a vinyl of some sorts so it doesn't show wear.

Excited to see more pictures.

That was exactly my plan. I probably misinterpreted it. I really meant the center console and the glove box and the area below the steering wheel. The top area is staying the same just because I want some kind of contrast. Maybe in the future put the same color on there but leather, who knows!

Pictures are the whole exciting part about having something done. I hate to have some one add a new modification to their car and not have pictures to go along! So im going to do my best and take what ever kinda pictures you guys want. haha

Man that's a sweet interior! Any chance your thinking of doing the sun visors? It would finish off the look! Really nice job, if I owned it I would never want to get out of the car.

Your door handle looks a little loose. When you put that cable back onto the door handle you have to put the wire in the holder first. Its right under the hook.

Of all the modifications done to the Xfires looks I have to say that this is the best yet and I do not think that it can be beat. I am a stock kinda guy and even putting non standard items on a car is a crime to me, but I'd do this.
I give it a two thumbs up. Brilliant.
Just for the record, how many square feet did it take to do all of these mods, I saw 60 square feet mentioned somewhere but I do not think that was you.

That suede looks super nice on your crossfire. It just occurred to me your suede reminded me of my early days in the local pool halls. I'd sometimes help with the brushing of tables at closing time.

The pool table brush will get the nap on the felt to lay down nice and smooth and all in one direction. You may want to give it a try!
