They agreed to a few changes on the pattern I was looking at so I ordered a new set. 15% off was a nice incentive.

I received mine about a month ago. Great leather quality and stitching. When you get them they are in a small box and will have quite a few wrinkles due to the confined shipping container. It is best if you remove them and lay them flat in a warm place and let some of the wrinkles relax for a few days before you install. If you are not replacing the foam it will most likely be necessary to add some foam to the OEM foam for a tight fit. I had mine professionally installed for $300 and feel it was a good investment due to the tendencies of the high grade leather. When installed you cannot get all the wrinkles out there may still be some small wrinkles.. Any wrinkles after install should become less and less as the sun heats up the leather and allows it to relax according to my professional installer they did use the steamer to lessen some of the wrinkles. All in all great quality and a good value.

Sorry we don't have door panels for this car. Some people buy extra leather from us and then get those things done themselves.

Thanks

Man that was fast. I ordered a set with some custom touches and they said 4 to 6 weeks. They just got delivered to my door.(10 days). I bought their synthetic covers awhile back and decided to go with Nappa leather this time. Very nicely made and exactly as ordered. Now I just need the weather to warm up a bit to install.

I ordered on 2-17 and mine says they will be delivered tomorrow! Woohoo! Not sure I'll be installing them very soon though.

I would like to get mine started but it's still single digits outside and it would be a pain to remove the seats when it's so cold. Once it gets into the 50's, I will start on them.

Post pics when you get them finished.

Mine arrived today, from Pakistan. I was under the impression these were made in Indiana.

No, we have a sales office here in Indiana, but our factory is in Pakistan. That is where everything that we have is made.

Thanks

I installed the Nappa Leather seat covers this past weekend, I have them sitting in the sun now to reduce the wrinkles.

Nice job. Those creases should come out nicely.

Very nice. Another item to get put on the list. I would love to do something to spice up my plain Tan Leather in the GS. Got your site book marked.

Is the procedure pretty straight forward?

Cool, thanks. I am pretty skillful and think I could do it with the right instructions. These covers look awesome. Definitely will keep that in mind. I have a ton of other things I want to do first, but definitely would like to do something with maybe black and tan seats with the Grand Sport logo or even just the C6 flag in the head rest. Think it would look good in my interior that is black and tan and not just a single color, and with black floor mats would kind of blend. I would like red stitching, but not sure that would go well with the rest of the interior.

Do you have any pics of installs with the tan?
