Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - A Miracle in the middle of the Cabin!

Joe, it is absolute perfection. We love it and it will add greatly to the atmosphere in the cabin. You did a perfect job in creating this masterpiece. I have no idea how many hours you spent in all the detail work and meticulous job of stretching the leather and 1/4 inch padding on the surface and then glueing the wrap around part to adhere to the back of the Center Console. This baby could go through a war without injury, it was so well built.

I am so happy that I chose the Diamond Stitch in Red as it provides symetry and flow to the center of the console and the single red stitch around the peramiter of the design with the black leather welt preceeding it adds definition and clarification. The Red stitching is perfect even around the curved edges. All lines are true. The final touch was the handle "GXPinKC" in red embroidrey and it defines the piece. I am glad that I added that on. As for the comfort level, no comparison, the hard plastic was no fun, the foam layers under the Italian Leather provides relief to your elbow. It is now, much more comfortable to drive.

And yes, you did quite a job in modifying part of the Console top near the Brake Handle to make it look so integrated. How in the world you were able to apply the large amount of industrial adhesive and at the same time stretch the Italian Leather so that all the Red Diamond Stitch lines were in perfect symmetry seems an impossible task. I salute you for an absolutely AWSOME job!
Sincerely,
Ron
