If they had a nice blue or green I would’ve gone that route, or even maroon. Unfortunately the poverty spec trucks don’t get very exciting options color wise.

What did you do to your mk7 today?

Mk7s and new GM trucks, match made in heaven
The interior work is done for now. Door panels aren't feasible, but I will be doing the armrest as a finishing touch.
First interior pic you can still see the chalk marks on the leather from the upholsterer's work. He did a fantastic job matching the pattern on both seats. Really happy with it.

That looks insanely good. You mentioned the door cards are not feasible. I am working on this now, specifically the insert portion and I want to do them in matching Recaro red to go with my seats. On the back of the door inserts it looks like plastic rivets and they have to be drilled out?I do not see anywhere they can be unclipped. Is this what you saw?

Its def. Possible just from photos alone we done know what was done to get it to work.
And this one of you skip to 5:00 they were able to “overlay” some vinyl without removing the inserts but that’s with a non se door car, and maybe there’s more give it the fabric.

Thanks. I mean anything is possible, but the upholsterer wasn't keen and I'm not interested in pushing it. He mentioned the plastic rivets, and difficulty around them, and I said forget it. Kudos to anyone who goes for it.
This has been a fun process, my first time having interior work done. Car feels refreshed and custom but with OEM parts, which fits the build.

What did I do? Got stranded for about 15 minutes. Details HERE. I appreciate any input from the wizards who might understand that happened. Thanks!
In other news, I had one of my Nogaro sets refinished and mounted new tires. I chose Continental Control Contact Sport SRS+. They're not as grippy as Pilot Sport AS4s, but they're cheaper and last longer. The car looks about the same, maybe a little fresher:

Looking at possibly getting a Civic Hybrid since we're speaking about new cars. Probably going to keep the MK7, but I sort of want a change especially for a DD something more chill. Also considering a smaller SUV specifically a Hybrid as well CRV or CX50..

It looks good definitely. I'm not sure honestly, but part of it is the NVH is very poor on the Prius relative to the Civic. I really value that more now after owning the MK7 and working in that area of automotive development.
Continuing to setup the office. I have an old Samsung a7 Lite that I've decided will do full time in R from now on. Thanks to this forum for helping me find the AO Macchina dongle and finding resources for Simos Tools. Besides that, Highway Radar/Waze, TrackAddict, and OBDeleven what Android apps do you regularly use with your Mk7?

Thanks for that! I've never heard of it. I'll have to share this, not sure if its to your musical taste. Described as "Downtempo and chillout electronica" (And one of my favorite stations for more than a decade) https://somafm.com/groovesalad/
