Just kidding it was already RHD.
Did fit Katzkin seat covers GT350R steering wheel and new floor mats. Finishing up the other interior bit with red stitching and will door red door card inserts next week.
Also applied Butter wax finish - lot of work but I think looks good.:)

Looks good but the leather looks loose in spots.. That would bug me.

Professionals use steam after installing. Apparently it causes the leather to shrink and of course removes the odd crease. I've heard people say they self installed and some or all of the looseness went away by itself in a while.

The radial lines on the bolster wouldn't bother me. In fact I think I'd prefer them. But seating surfaces I'd want to be smooth. The angular lines at the bottom of the seat back are the only ones I would really mind.

Nice!

What mats are those? I have the Red-Line upgraded interior and those would look good in it.

Applied a rushed coat of Klasse sealer glaze yesterday evening to give it a bit of protection before I put it under the cover for most of winter. Had more stuck-on road grime on the quarter panels than I expected. Gonna have to clay it in the spring I think.

You will love the linear! Very predictable and balanced.

https://www.fitmycar.com/au/ - I think they will ship to USA but will need to reverse fronts to suit lhd. The exchange rate will favour you.
Thanks. They have a US site so don't need to see if they have LHD. Good thing because the AU site contact page has a bad email address. Emails to it just bounce. And the online contact form ignores the send clicks, although that could be some browser issue. Anyway, as I said I found the US site and they have them.

What weight carpet did you order? And was it thicker/thinner than the factory? I guess I need to go to a carpet store to compare the different weights. The price doubles between the middle and thickest options, so not something I'd do blindly. And did you get the darkest or a lighter shade?

update: I guess I can't rely on floor carpet weights to know how these will feel/wear. Weight isn't just how dense the carpet is but also how long, so one x oz/gram carpet wont be like another unless they have the same pile length. Saves me a trip to a carpet store, but I need to see if they offer samples.
