Congrats, Kiran! Another well-ICED Palio
I haven't yet been able to listen to any series by Illusion yet :(
HU upgrade next huh? looks like you've been really smitten, heh, heh.
About the doorpads, since you plan to cover them with other material later, the spacer should get hidden well enough. if you get the spacer ring's outer rim angled a bit, the fabric/leather material will stick well enough and the shape will look natural enough.
Payam also getting illusionized, huh? Looks like we are in for a lot of ICE pr0n soon!
Looking forward to your final pics, Kiran.
