Yeah, I think the big difference between the new look and the old school look is actually that the newer, high end cars have a more simplistic stitch pattern, versus a diamond tuck and roll pattern where no stitching is visible. I never really knew about the correct nomenclature until I asked the interior guy for some diamond tuck inserts and he about had a heart attack, thinking it would take forever.
Greg, that pic perfectly sums up the style there. When I was thinking about the design I went to the local exotic car dealership. It was actually kinda disturbing because I found myself looking at the prices on a couple cars like and Exige and thinking, oh that really reasonable
. I'm pretty sure Tyler's voice was echoing in my head from when he said, "whatever your budget is, double it and add some more. That's what it will cost to build." Still there were some cool interiors and I came away liking the Murcielago's a lot
and not so much this, which I guess is why some people make the oldschool association,
