My only question would be, why start with a Raptor if all the Raptor is being taken out of it and replaced? It looks great though!

paint looks flawless. love the suede too, the lesser quality suede on my corbeaus is actually standing up to a lot of abuse over the last 2 years. awesome build.

Just so you know, this is not Suede. It is a material called Alcantara. It is what all the high end cars are using these days. It does not fade, and can be washed as well.
Alcantara® extraordinary every day

according to my seat order still stored, it seems as though my "suede" is also Alcantara and I apparently paid extra for it. Thanks for the enlightenment, guess that explains how it still looks and feels new.
