Default New seat covers installed

I put these on over the weekend. Ordered from a vendor at Carlisle. I am thoroughly pleased with them. I put in new foam on the seat bottoms and the halos. Don't lean on your driver side bolster when getting in & out of the car. When I took of the old covers & foam, my bolster was sliced through from the seat. Before i put on the new ones I sanded the seat fram to take the sharp edge off and then covered it with felt stuck on with hot glue. If anyone is interested you can PM me for the vendor. They are out of Georgia. You can click the picture for additional pictures.
