Whoa! That's surprising quality, and I have the same seats so now I'm excited about this option. Hadn't heard of that source for covers before. When they're in the car I'd love to see those pics too.

Don't know if you know this, but there is a method posted around here and videos on it on how to get rid of those wrinkles and undesirable stretch areas. you simply put rags and water in a container that is microwave safe and can fit in your microwave, then microwave it till it is very hot, like steam is coming off of the rags hot. then you simply put the rags on the leather while it's hot ( use some hot mits or something like it to move it ) let it sit on the leather for a while till its luke warm. Then remove and it should be noticeably better.

i live in texas so i know what you're talking about i'm confused by what you mean of putting it in the hummer? like an h2 or something? i wonder how that would look XD. But heat alone won't do it, that's why you need the steam from the water. it's kind of like what professional shops do, they have a specialized machine that just makes steam and they use it on the leather.

No stiching is good I think the old seat foam is compressed and not filling the corner good going to try the steam trick if that dose not work might give it a bit more stuffing

I agree! Those are really nice - and for only about $50 more than the Iggy's I got - which were king in my mind until now.

He's got a bunch of different ones, just look at his other item list. Here's the link to one of them to get you started:

Man, what a deal. Seems like the only thing a purest could moan about is the 5 line pattern in the seatback instead of 7 lines. Anyone know how much volume/frequency he produces these?

He puts up one every week since I found them. It looks like he has another add too out of Houston but he is in AU. Got mine in less than a week but I live in Texas
