Nice! I am giving a try doing my seat by myself now. If it's not working out, I may give this a try.

Seat covers made a huge difference breaking up the starkness of the stock interior.

Very nice! How is the grade of leather? It lookes better than the stock leather in the pix, but the stock leather is easy to beat. At some time I will need to replace my original leather hidden under my sheepskins, and looking for better than OEM and less costly than the really fine Vette Essentials.

The leather is very good quality and is used thru-out, not like the OEM's that only have leather on the faces. Contact Eric at LeatherSeats.comSales and get a price. I think you'll be pleased. Ask for leather samples to see the quality. The Silver leather on my covers was special order and they still shipped within 3 weeks.

Looks great! I always thought the all black interior was the best way to go - but I really like the contrast - it sure does bright up the inside of the bat cave!
