Astro home/pics, as promised

Hellacious night doing the detail in the hot humid temps, but got it 90%. Had tint done this morning, going on a road trip shortly for a few hundred break in miles.

Here are the pics I promised:

First mod: Alta Stubbie!






Before/After Tint Shots (35%):



Punch Carbon Leather/Fluid Silver



Anthracite Headliner:
