hey that does look good, and glad to hear it and thanks for posting. the pebble grain would have looked nice in there too. either way, the leather parts just adds a homy feel to the interior over the plastic. ive had the smooth grain in mine for a while now, flows nice with the console, still love it.

those seats have special headrests or none? good looking seats, very nice

i`m thinking about doing away with the comment page on the website just cause no one goes back on there to leave comments and turn it into a customer pics page. if i do that i might have to post your pics on there, hope thats cool with you?

Yes they have matching headrests. I took the car out for a drive and literally kept saying over & over.. why did I wait so long for the padded armrest? No problem on using my pics your site, actually took more just didnt want to post them alll.. take your pick

Now if you could figure out how to do padded leather on the window sill where I rest my boney elbow.. I think I'd be in heaven.

This is a sweet little modification and obviously a great deal of care went into their construction. I'd be all over one if you made it for a 2011 center console! I read your previous comments about the different challenges there though.

hey thats alcantara on that "boss" wheel. pretty nice stuff. we`ve been selling a bunch of alcantara all of a sudden, so guys must be liking those wheels on the 05-09`s. we just did a black stitch on a leather/alcan, a silver stitch and a blue stitch on all alcan that looks great. we are getting real close on the padded leather armrest cover on the 2012...

Thanks for the great parts
thanks mephis. wow 700+hp, roll bar, pretty awesome. ya, i`m seeing a couple issues. i can see the light parchment looks really light in the pic, maybe the flash embellished it a little too, and the seat inserts looks a little more brownish/tan. that was oem lt. parchment the closest we could get.

is that our e-brake cover? it should fit way nicer than that. it looks like its not pulled back, the top should come back to the line in the rubber grip, that will make that big pucker spot fit tighter into the curve, and the strap goes on the bottom side of the lever. the stitch lines should flow with the curves of the lever. i`m gonna pm you.

thats the same color int as my car. my window sticker says med. parchment but turns out ford calls it camel. it is a odd color, kind of a gray/green/tan even though it looks more tan up against black. i just got a line on a supplier near detroit that i hope can get me the oem materials/colors. should know within this next month. hmmm, maybe a padded cover for the roll bar along side the seat.

Thanks.... I just put the ebrake on for a mock pic..... I will pm you if I have Any issues getting it on there.....

Yeah the tan is a little lighter in person, but I can live with it for now..... The roll bar does have a padded leather sleeve. It was out for something or the other...

Still love the stuff....

ahhhh, that explained it. we are pretty critical about our parts. i saw that pic, marcy too, and we were like "is that our part"?,lol. its gonna fit good, it`ll go on easy :boobies: we try very hard to get the parts to fit the best they can. i think the lt parchment color does look more tan in person, but still lighter than the med parch. i know it feels good. i tried a good part of last year to get the oem colors so i hope it happens this year. thanks much for using our parts, awesome car. :thumb2:

Just got my console armrest cover installed, pebbled black/glove soft with white stitching. The quality is amazing, I'll be getting a matching shift boot and e-brake cover (since I scratched the crap out of it from taking the center console out so many time) at some point for sure! Thanks again!

I have the padded armrest cover and I bought it more for looks but ended up really liking the feel of it. Great product!

hey your welcome and thanks to everyone. youve got a ebrake lever that ive only seen in the shelbys. our 3/4 ebrake cover stitching would not line up with that grip, but ive had someone with a shelby say the full cover fit over his perfect and really felt nice with 2 layers of leather on the grip section. that lever is made so that the finished dia. of the grip is equal in size of the rubber grip on most cars. pretty sure it cant be removed, and it wouldnt flush out with the lever anyway.

You're right, I upgraded the lever when I found out the cable was snapped by the previous owner. Guess I'll have to be more careful about scratching the plastic in case I decide not to cover it. Darn, thanks for the info though! :thumb2:

might still look ok. if you decide to try it and it doesnt work out you can always return it. thats how we got our test fit lever, eddy python sent us a lever with a broke cable he had to replace. that makes for a expensive cable having to buy the assembly (thanks fords):buttkick:

been sending out quite a bit of black alcantara lately so i`m guessing the boss wheels are getting installed. sent a brake cover to a guy in the mustang club of Great Britain, so we have shipped parts to about 6 countries so far. thanks to every one for spreading the word.

this person wanted a shorter shift boot and wanted us to install it on the trim ring. we can do that

rumor has it weve been working on a padded leather armrest cover for the 2010+ cars. after not thinking we could do much, we have made a awesome looking cover and are shipping it out this week for evaluation. thanks to pete for shipping us his armrest lid from his 2012.
