upholstery work: Fine Line Trim before paint

Progress on the Cobra keeps moving. First we are wrapping remaining tasks before paint. Then the upholstery work really started to shine. Therefore we trusted Fine Line Trim & Upholstery with the job. Their craft should lift the car’s look next to the paint. Also, I first saw their work at a local car show. As a result, I knew the quality would stay consistent.

Stock FFR door cards disappointed

Based on the photos, the stock FFR door cards look disappointing. They fall short of what we wanted. Besides that, the $200 price tag stung for that quality. We shared the frustration and got an apology. However, nobody fixed the panels. So that part still felt disheartening.

25th Anniversary look tied together

Seats, dash, and bronze stitching

I am proud of how the 25th Anniversary seats and carbon fiber dash now match. Next, the suede and bronze stitching on the seats and door cards pops. Likewise, the lower dash got careful work around the stereo and controls. French stitching on the tunnel cover and lower dash complements the bronze thread. After that, the blended edges on the tunnel and door cards look finished. Ultimately I could not be happier with the outcome!

New door cards with pockets

Here are the all-new door cards. They add storage pockets right by your hand. Also, plush suede and detailed stitching bring fashion and convenience together.

Here are a few more pics of the tunnel, lower dash, and seats. Meanwhile we still need footbox carpeting. Oh, and we trimmed the shifter boot a bit. Once carpet goes in, that boot will fit better.

This was a huge confidence bump! In other words, this car may actually get finished. 😉
