that looks really good, a little overdone for me, but with the white exterior it makes it look really good

Thanks.
I used the full SEM line of products (clean, prep, paint), and I made sure to overdo the clean/prep steps.

For seats I am thinking black for the sit/back portions since that is a high contact area and white on the sides and back. I have not fully decided yet but it will certainly be black and/or white

Keeping white clean takes "paying attention to." I learned that when I picked up the white wheels a few years ago, I have to wipe them constantly to keep them looking sharp. Ive always kept a clean interior. Infact I keep a microfiber cloth in the center console to do little touch ups like wipe a fingerprint off of the polished billet pieces. As the interior morphed over the last month and a half Ive gotten used to keeping up with the inside maintenance.

For me, I treat it more like a show car. No food, no drinks, etc.

Thanks for looking, and for the comments.

A little overdone but none the less it looks good. Big props for thinking outside the box.

@ OP How hard was it to do the Horse on wheel and Mustang on dash.

You need to be extremely careful cutting your tape...





Joking... seriously tho... The small details like the horse on the steering wheel and the mustang letters I did with a steady hand and a magic marker. Typically magic marker will clean off of your normal dash but it will adhere to paint quite nicely! It is the only thing not SEM product. I could not think of a way to be as precise as I would have to be. I tested the 'magic marker on paint' idea on the back side of one of the panels and it worked great. Great adhesion to the paint and does not smear or fade when cleaned.
