New Seats in from Lotus Trim Shop - LotusTalk

madguppy · 10-30-2006, 03:14 PM

I want to thank Rob Puertas at Blackwatch Racing for getting my order done perfectly!
Here are some quick shots of the job half done...It was good for comparison. Girlfriend still thinks the the old color matches better but I prefer the new color. We both agree the Probax fit and feel better. Hope you enjoy the shots.

LARRY · 10-30-2006, 03:18 PM

Look great! With the Lotus logo...how cool is that?

MattG · 10-30-2006, 03:22 PM

Nice!!! What color are those inserts, officially? Is that magnolia?

Cardinal · 10-30-2006, 03:23 PM

Badass.

Robert Puertas · 10-30-2006, 03:26 PM

Nice!
When are we doing the console cover?

Rolotomasu · 10-30-2006, 03:26 PM

Definitely an improvement

Any info on price and length of time to receive the goods from the trip shop would be appreciated!

Robert, what colors do you do and how much does it cost? Looks great!

Very nice!

I too have a new interior on order through Robert, and I highly recommend him. They don't do the work in-house, they place the order with the Lotus Trim Shop.

Allan Gibbs · 10-30-2006, 04:36 PM

Robert, how hard is it to install the inner door panel inserts (tear drop shaped pieces by the window button)? Also, can you get those inserts in Bordeaux Red Pearl in leather?

Robert, do you have photos of the Hurricane seats in something other than solid black? Any styles like this?

jlee · 10-30-2006, 05:37 PM

How about the dash? I would love to see a leather dash, much like a F360/430. Anyone do this yet?
