Default Leather skins

I'm looking to replace my seats skins this winter. I've seen black with white accents on forum in the past. Like to see pics of your new seats covers for ideas.

Go black/white you won't go back. It's different from the popular red/black. I personally love it.

Add a heated seat kit while you're in there. They feel nice on cool mornings.

Not hard at all. The car is driven daily and every few weeks I wipe them down with Adams Leather & Interior Cleaner. We actually made a set of all white a couple months back but I haven't got customer pics back yet.

Those white and black ones do look pretty good - and nice that they are different than what you normally see.
