Thanks!!

Not a PITA at all..Just took my time worked the leather made sure everything was falling into place. The drivers side seat had a broken bolster so I made a new one out of delrin plastic. There is a great how to video that I watched several times to make sure I knew what I was doing.

Nice job!

Mine are basically done now too, but not back in the car yet, as I am knee deep in a stereo upgrade project right now and they would just be in the way...

Mine came from DJ Motorsports - you can check prices on their website. Most of their sets are around $700 or so...

Looks really good. New seat covers, in a better quality leather, sure makes a difference.

Thanks, Quality leather does make all the difference. I also went with the seat foam that had the reinforced bolsters and seat pad.
