trim should be a nice blend of old and new when done..

[Anonymous View build HERE Member since: January 1, 1970 Posts: 0]

Yep that was my thought process,. Old school feel, New school style

Nice build.

Who did the hidden wiring in the engine bay?

Looking at doing the same to my SLE with the seats but in leather (Leather seats were an option on my car from factory but were swapped out for the velour by the dealer)

Just a local auto electrician, cost me $900 for the engine bay re wired. This Calais was leather but I pulled out the seats and door trims & sold them off which paid for the coulsons. Velour has the 80’s retro feel I’m after plus my clubby and mazda cx5 both have leather so it’s nice to have something different.

Interior looks pretty trick, the cloth is cool for something different.
