Some things that have been done lately. I redid the bumpers again and painted the trim under the headlights black to match the moldings.And also did the door handles.

Also today I installed my old rims onto her car. (I think it looks better this way)

Here is some of the pics.

as for the seats I work for an automotive upholstery shop and I would recommend vinlex for the dash and anything vinyl and lexol for anything leather they are both great products and that is all that we use....... as for the die on the seats in your wifes car use the vinlex for them.... do not use armoral or other silicon based products on your leather or vinyl they will seal up the surface and not let it breath resulting in cracks in vinyl vinlex will not seal the surface and will in fact replace some of the oils that are there naturally and prevent cracking... I use it on all my cars and have not had a problem one yet in 4 years of use..... I used armoral for 2 years before I worked for the shop and had cracks after 1 and a half years.... you can try anything you want but that is what I recommend and what my shop sells exclusively......
