Looks like they came out pretty nice....but me, I am definitely going the aftermarket race seat route, my stockers look pretty dang fresh w/ 40k miles on them I use conditioner on them regularly & don't weigh very much.....looks like there's definitely a market out there to sell them too!

Good luck w/ the seats & make sure to be careful on light/white colored clothes initially may have some bleeding from the new leather.

Bought an inexpensive leather wear area seat skins (from e bay) and new foam had them installed professionally, all in including skins $700- Now be aware it takes some time to smooth out the wrinkles, that being said I am extremely happy, much better than stock. Go for it and have them installed pro. and make sure to replace foam. That was two years ago. Cheers, Rob

$450 for labor sounds great. You don't want to know what I paid (New York prices -- though I did use custom skins)

Do it yourself and save the cash. It's really not that difficult. Heck, I brought the seats inside and watched TV while I worked on it in the AC with a beer.

​​​​​​​I'm pretty sure with that and the current inflation, it's probably double that now.
