Default Pictures of my tC's black leather interior install

The original interior (black mesh material):



After leather install:









If you are interested in a leather kit like this for your vehicle, I purchased the leather kit on eBay from the seller "alileather".

Enjoy

They look kind of loose fitting. Looks clean, but I think I'd go with the Clazzio if I were going that route.

$500 on eBay

Yeah they're loose but will tighten up with the sun.. I mean, how do you guys expect people to get the kit on if they barely fit to begin with????

Not to sound like a hater, but the Clazzios are only $424 from Longo... If they do tighten up, you'll be fine.

Either way, as long as you're happy with them!

Nah it doesn't come with the hog rings or hog ring tool. Just the leather seats, headrests, and console arm rest cover. The holes for the seat adjust ***** are already marked to cut though.

I really like them. My friend got a set for her xB and I just had to get the set for mine.

Thank you to the people who left positive feedback.

I think they look good and you get the satisfaction of having done it yourself :D

They'll definitely tighten up over the next week or two. Leave your car parked out in the sun and let 'em bake!
I had my leather installed by the dealership and it was a bit loose when I picked up the car, but sure enough, it tightened up over time. And they smell good too! :D

By the time they're done, your seats will probably look very similar to this:

WOW yours looks awesome!!!! I hope mine tighten up like that. We did it ourselves so we didn't put as many hog rings as they probably put in yours.

A lot of different vehicles have different styles of leather... some are really tight, some are baggier, etc.
Even if yours don't tighted up 100%, they'll still tighten up more than they are now and it's all good!
I like the baggy leather look just as much as tighter look.
