There is a thin line between doing something beautiful and going overboard.
I think this wasn't so thin but they went overboard anyway.

It sure appears to be quite nicely done, but as you type, quite a ways over the board!

Don't get me wrong, I think the craftsmanship is very good.  Its just that Pagoda is a beautiful car because of its timeless and understated simple design. its elegant. It doesn't have flared arches, wings, side grills or go faster stripes.
I think this interior doesn't fit the cars character.

You pay your money and make your choice.  If I had done that, I'm not sure that I would admit to it on a website populated by Pagoda fanatics.
