Benjamin T: That is odd. I posted that message and for some reason it was under a different screen name. Well, to answer your questions, I still have your info in our pending folder. As far as the Ostrich, in my opinion it looks pretty good, but we have had complaints that it is not authentic enough. It is actually leather that is stamped and dyed to look like Ostrich. As far as the mounting hardware, I can only assume that he means the plastic clips and the sleeves for the listing wires. If so, that is already sewn into the kit. As far as what time to call, I will just PM you my cell phone number so you won't have to worry about it.

I received my covers this past week and am in the middle of the install. I have the rear seat done and installed. I am now attacking the front seats one at a time. Here is a pic of the rear seat prior to installation.

and now installed
The seats look great. And I am extremely happy with the quality. I would like to thank everyone over at Leatherseats.com for offering this group buy for us. I will be send some images to Leatherseats.com for their website if they choose to use them. There are no two-tone SC images on there.

Awesome! I got my covers in as well, have yet to install them. Do you have any install tips? Did you add any padding to the seats? I want to add more foam to all my seats as they have lost their plushness..

Did you order the installation kit?
First off get a good pair of soft handled snips. You will be doing a lot of cutting when removing the old clips. My hands were sore from all of the cutting. You will also be reusing a good amount of steel rods from your old seats. Take your time when installing the new leather. I would install a few clips then flip the seat over to get a look and then pull and tug where needed.
I didn't add any more foam. The new leather has extra foam in spots. There were no tears in my old leather just some wear marks that helped keep the foam in good shape.
