Well as some of you know i have been missioning it to get full calibra leather in my nova, i've seen a few with front leather but never the rear leather....dunno if im the first???

But its great, fits in snugly, and makes the nova feel a lot bigger than it is..

i dont like them :o , looks like you have done a decent job of it and well done to you for doing it but i just dont think it looks as good as say a sri/gsi interior or one that has been properly re-trimmed


sorry :(

sorry :(

Fair comment, but the difference being, i bought the leather for cheaper than i could buy a normal gsi interior let alone a re-trimmed one! It was the only reason really :D
