Just an update I got my leather in, and it looks great it is a perfect match to the rest of my theme.Install wasn't to bad as someone who doesn't do this kind of stuff, but i am positive it doesn't look as good as it could. But anyways here are a few pics.

Looks good dude. I'm happy to see it finally made it to you and everything worked out.

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but I wouldn't be happy with the way the console looks. It's loose and bunched up. Maybe it's just the pictures, I don't know.

On another note, where did you buy the orange insert for the Raptor emblem? Thanks

Looks great buddy. I would have gotten it to you much more quickly if it wasn't for my leather supplier holding me up! I'm glad you like it.

The install really isn't too bad. It is just a bunch of careful planning then a lot of trimming, pulling then attaching. Once you get the hang of it, it takes about 30 minutes start to finish minus the drying times for adhesive.

The secret that I've found if something isn't quite lining up into place is to blast the leather with heat and then do a bunch of pulling.

^to add a few day's out in the heat help's to, perhaps wiping it down with @AdamsPolishes leather conditioner after a few hr of heat for a bit of moister if your in a dry clement.

I hope mine gets made soon. Its been a long time waiting...

wow, I just found this thread, as Ive been experiencing all of the same issues as the rest of you. Id be fine with it had Calder told me in our initial conversation about the delays etc... Im at 2 months since I paid him for headrests console cover and gauge cluster cover, and over a month without the console, and gauge cover in my truck. I've heard all of the exact same excuses and promises all of which have not come thru... I get a response to about every 5th email I send, and at this point, just want my parts and money back. I can have someone local do the work.

Calder:
1- your work looks great, and I applaud you for having a passion and trying to start a business.

2-
if you don't change the way you do business, you'll be out of business

3- Always, ALWAYS, under promise, and over deliver.

4- ALWAYS, be proactive in notifying your customers of a delay or issue... don't leave them hanging and wondering what the F is going on.

5- NEVER EVER promise something is shipping, and then don't ship it, and go silent.

if I don't hear from you, SOON, i will be taking action. Not because its taking long for the parts to come to me, but because you've flat out lied to me. Im a no bs guy, you tell me the truth, and back it up, I'm fine. you lie to me, Ill go to my grave trying to make you learn from it.
