Default Just finished new seat foam and skins!

My 14 year old seats were starting to feel like 14 year old seats. Went with the foam/skin combo from Mid America. Really nice stuff! Install wasn't too bad for first time attempting anything like this. One beer and jacked up fingers... here's the result. Love it

I'm hoping to get to do that to mine soon. How happy are you with the quality of the leather?
