Let's just make sure we are not bidding on the same ones!

I will post some pics of my seats tomorrow ...I hope... a cleaner install than the photos above is possible ( less wrinkles). You must pull and work the leather over the foam until it is wrinkled no more then ring it into place.

B-E-A-UTIFUL job i love it

Psyco565

its a major pain in the **** and I dont have the hog ring tools...

eggie

I got the tool and it was still a pain in the butt.

TerribleTed

Remember. I used tiestraps instead of hog rings...easy to tighten up well Hog rings are better I am sure but you must have good hogring pliers and hogrings for them to work really well. Tiestraps are cool because you can leave them 1/2 tightened 3/4 tightened or whatever. I some places on the rear seat base install i actually only tightened them to about 1/2 as much as I could so I could hook to some existing structure at angles to help pull the upholstery the direction I wanted where this structure was way to far away from the attachment strap to even consider a hog ring (like inches).

What was nice about the hogrings is you did have to make a hole, the hog ring would make it for you when you closed it. That made it go by really fast + good cutters.

Here is a Pic of one of my buckets installed with these covers.


A very nice fit.

Psyco565

looks really good! must have taken forever to get them looking that smooth.

TerribleTed

Not too long just lots of stuffing and pulling hard.

Awesome write up! Thx

I just wanted to update this thread with my own opinion of these seat covers as I recieved them from the wife for X-Mas. The quality is very good, actually suprisingly good for the price. I worked at a place called Classic Soft Trim and I installed leather for about a year and a half, so I have seen plenty to judge. I had a Katzkin kit in my old Dakota R/T and it wasn't as good quality-wise as this kit. I will get mine installed when the hog rings finally get here...lol. I'll post some pics too.

Did yours come with the door inserts?

GLN305

Nope, but the auction for mine didn't mention the inserts either according to my wife.
I wouldn't use them anyway, the door inserts are getting some tweed.

these look like the exact same kit I had installed when I bought my car. I paid $1200 for mine, it's tempting to buy another set just in case something happens to mine.

ok quick question, is there covers for the head restraints, all the pics posted are without the head restraints installed?

Dr_No

Did anybody install seat heaters or lumbar support when you did the leather install? I was thinking about the heaters and support. If I have to tear the seat apart then, I might as well install leather seat covers.

GLN305

Yes, they come with matching covers for the headrests. My seat covers are the ones with red inserts and red stitching and the headrest covers have red stitching as well. Of course as everyone else has done...mine won't be going in...lol!
