Leather seat kit install Done! Write-up soon to follow.
#42
Just wanted to chime in on this thread. I bought the dark charcoal set and installed it myself with no prior installation experience. It was a pain, but I like doing most of the stuff myself anyway so it was worth it. I think it turned out really good (I took pics but will post them later). The only part I'm having trouble with is the door panels....I'm not sure how to fit the leather pieces on them and which one goes with which door. Does anybody have any advice there?

It includes the front seats, rear seats, all 5 headrests and 4 door panel inserts for $260 shipped. FWIW, you don't have to use ebay...he sells directly from his website which is where I ordered it from. I was really leary to order a "real leather" upholstery kit for $225 so I found a phone number for the company and gave them a call. I talked to Mick and he was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make me feel comfortable about the purchase. It is definitely worth the money and you won't be sorry if you decide to buy the kit.

The one I origionally posted, the guy outta FL, does have both the fronts and back seats. And as stated before, it's a really simple but time consuming task and if anyone needs pointers hit me up.

I tried 1 door insert and I am fairly talented...I stopped and took it to my upholstery guy (minus the one insert I screwed up). Now for $200 more I have 4 fully installed inserts. I would recommend pro install for those unless you are very talented, have the exactly correct glue and upholstery tucking tools.

I have the same seat covers on my box. They fit nice and are of great quality for the price. The set comes complete with all seat covers, headrests, and door panels. Like Storm13 mentioned above, the door panels are the most difficult to install. I started on one of my door panels and ended up messing up the panel and buying a used one off Ebay. The rest of the covers are still a pain to install but it can be done. I was a virgin seat cover installer until now. I also did not have the hog ring tool or rings but picked up a kit from Ebay as well. I think it was like $20. I'm definitely getting the door panels installed by a shop. Overall I'm very satisfied with the results. Covers go very well with the Zeta armrest. I'll see if I can post some pics.
