not bad, not bad.

Did you add any padding to the side bolsters or anything for more lateral support?

Unfortunately no extra support was added....there were some time restraints that kinda rushed getting the seats back together (had to drive back to NY to get to work the next day) so we had to go with what we had...Now that I have the finished product I can always take them back out of the car over the winter and possibly add some more support..

Well they LOOK good, and that's important

Adding the additional support will just make them that much better.

I like the flames..... Can't really see what is happening with the headrest graphics; rest of seat looks nice.

More details on flames?

There are no graphics in the headrests...it is a piece of snake skin...the flames were stitched in to go with the flame theme on the doors...the airbrushing was done by a local artist that also painted my harley...amazing artist
