Thanks! Give it a couple of weeks and the parking handle should be installed as well. The owner decided to have that installed after personally saw the car.

The finish used is designed for regular wood floors found in homes. That said, nothing is impervious to scratching and it's understood by all that this will happen. The owner specifically did not want traditional carpet floor mats. This 911 was commissioned to go with a lot of basics with the idea that it'll pick up "patina" with use. Not going to disclose who he is, but I totally understand his reasoning to go with a more exotic route. It was decided to not create true veneer out of the ebony, as that would have made things difficult to refinish down the road of there was a deeper scratch. The ebony is 1/8" thick to allow for at least two refinishes.
