Olin -
I have also seen some exceptionally nice work done by
Cape-International in the UK. I would characterize
their work on leather interiors to be somewhere
inbetween Moss/SCparts and Heritage. I think their
prices are less than Heritage, and possibly slightly
more than Moss.
My only issue with Heritage is their interiors are too
perfectly done, it is clear that they are
substantially better than anything that came out of
the factory (they look fantastic). The Moss kits are
right in line with factory... so they also have some
of the factory inconsistency (particularly on leather
kits).
The cape kit I have seen is ... honestly... almost as
nice as a heritage kit but it just looks a shade more
"factory" in its appearance.
You might send Cape an email and see what they have to
say.
