if I remember right you can't get the leather inserts unless you order a whole new door panel.
Yeah, is there anywhere I could get those panels offline maybe? I think that a junkyard may be the best bet there.

I have been thinking of taking mine apart and buying my own leather and gluing it in myself.
I may do this, would high strength 3M spray adhesive work, or would I need something special?

the only thing else that's included in IUP is:
Satin door handles, dash, vent slots are silver, and the leather door panel inserts.
Is there anywhere I could find that aluminum dash online? I could get one of those plastic stick on kits.....but I'd rather get the real thing if I could.

The door panel is all one piece. The panels do not come out. I just put leather inserts in mine. Is wasnt to hard takes some patience. This picture doesnt show it but i also installed black welt around the panel to really finish it out.

That looks pretty sweet, I've got to do that. What was the process for attaching it? What kind of glue did you use? I've read about this welt stuff, what is it and where would i get it? how is it attached?

Here is a picture with the welt installed. Its very cheap .50 a yard. I got it from www.yourautotrim.com they have a bunch of different colors.

And here is glueI used. Make sure its the 90I tried the one they list for cloth & upolstry it doesnt stick to the plastic good enough. I still have to do the other door I'll take pictures of the process and do a little write up. The first side was trial and error and the second should go alot easier. Patience is key and not trying to glue the whole thing at once.

Yours is better than my all black basic interior. I consider it European looking!
Spend the $$$ on gas , it will get you further.

I'm really digging the map light trim, that's really cool.

I like the e-brake handle, though I wish somehow we could just get a leather boot for it....you know, like other nice expensive cars have, and like cheap azz ones USED to have. It's really disheartening the state of domestic auto companies these days.
