My wife says your wife did a GREAT job picking the colors...and she's about as opinionated about interiors as you can get. When I did her car, it was her way only, or not at all.

Congrats.

I like it a lot. Does the burgundy color on the interior match the outside pretty well?

Looks great. Did you use new foam and if so, how many miles did your seats have on them. I'm getting ready to install my VE covers and am just looking for tips..

For a $100 install at the dealer I figured is wasn't worth my trouble.
I think you achieved your goal and your wife has great taste. Nice Work!!
