So I'm in the process of repainting my interior and removing the gauges the P/O installed. I'm about to star patching these holes with bondo and prepping for paint. Has anyone done this and is there a better product than bondo for this type of work?

I also ordered new seat skins from lmr just the black sport cloth for the coupes any tricks to doing this? It seems pretty straight forward but thought I'd ask.

I've recovered the seats, pretty straightforward, but I'd recommend that you find a very good illustrated guide before you jump off in it. You'll need a bag of hogrings,..and a decent set of hogring pliers ( also from LRS). The headrests, and the leg bolsters are the hardest part. If you can afford the foam,..go ahead and get it now,..I skipped that step,..and I wish I hadn't. It all looks really good, but there just isn't the "new seat" support, to go w/ the "new seat" look, and you WONT wanna do the recover again once its done. Bondo is as bondo does momma used to say. If the holes do not have backing,..I'd scuff the backside and put some plastic window screen back there ( a bondo patch ) to keep the repair from breaking out in the future.

It is pretty straight forward. I wouldn't be afraid of the headrest. I found them to be the easiest. But then again, I am the one who made my seat covers so I knew exactly what to expect.

Will do, I'm inthe process of prepping the plastics now. Washed them/ scrubbed, tonight I'll wipe them down with goof off and start priming. I'm hoping a quick wipe with good off will take any risidual armor all off and not damage the plastic.
