Default Seat skin replacement complete

Did the passenger seat first. Did not replace the foam. Then the drivers seat. Replaced the foam. That seat was much tougher. Extremely happy with these seats from DJ Motorsports. The new foam is really comfortable!! Here are some before and after pics. Enjoy. R/ Al

Those seat skins look great, but you got to do something with the center console

Default console cover

The cover will be very tight once mounted on the lid. Take the lid off and the under panel off and stretch the cover over the edge evenly and put small line of super glue down and fold the cover over it making sure it goes far enough so the cover edge doesn't show when closed.

Will look like this.
