I took delivery of a Performance Blue ST last August (first one in Nevada!), here is what it looked like on day 1:
]
Since then I've done some minor cosmetic upgrades.
FRPP license plate + stainless mounting hardware:

GT Yellow fog covers:
RedlineGoods armrest cover + handbrake bling:
I am very impressed with the quality and the color is a near perfect match but the nappa leather is somewhat smoother than I would have hoped for, I'm going to contact them and see if they have something with more grain like the samples I ordered awhile back.
A word of advice on the install: there are some retainer clips that are used to help secure the front end; these will not fit when the thicker leather is installed over the OEM armrest. It looks like on the installation guide (I believe a forum member on here wrote it) they just tightened it down and bent the clips, I chose to remove the slots on the armrest, as it's an easier/cheaper part to replace than the bottom half.
Before:
After:
Before I did this I could not get the front half to seat properly.
I will eventually get around to upgrading the shift boot, but I really only plan on taking apart the center stack once so I will wait and do that when I install Boomba's short shifter.
I have to fix a couple issues from parking lot A-holes once it warms up again, after that I have a couple more cosmetic mods and then on to the zoom-zoom go fast parts.
