Looks awesome, beginnings of a little project it looks like! How is that plastic armrest cover? I see these around and I'm just curious on if that's supposed to actually be comfortable...

Painting the console and the side pieces ran $240 and the cover for the armrest was a ridiculous $99 considering it's nothing but a molded plastic piece. I've blown $99 on far worse, I guess...

It's different! Off topic, your leathers seats have taken a beating. I had a 2004 GT with leather up until 2010 and it still looked great. I'm hoping my 2013 seats are as equally good. I'm guessing because you have a convertible?

I like it. Something different and creative.
Thats why I went with Saddle Interior.......the "Black Hole" effect of the Mustang Interior needed some COLOR!

+1 on the new shift boot and contrast stitching......I think that should be your next mod
