BTW, I'm just getting around to doing this install now.. My leather has been sitting around for a while, while I finished a whole bunch of mods.
Now that I'm doing it, need to know whether everyone re-used the "listing wires" from the old leather covers, or is the 'ropey' kind of stuff that's sewn into the new covers what you tie the hog rings to instead?
Thanks.

bill said you are supposed to pull out the listing wires from your oem covers and reuse them in the new ones.
can you please take pics of your installation as it progress?

I had a set of OEM-matching covers (front and back) installed by a local upholstery shop. I don't have pics, but I can tell you they turned out great. They look like factory, at least to us average types.

I can second this. I had a shop in RI that has been doing leather interiors for 40years. They charged 450$ but did not do the door panels, which is a bear to do. The quality of fit and finish I could not be more happy with, they really fit nice. I went with Suede in the middle of the seating surface and my only complaint is that the suede is a little (very little) orange looking compared to the leather. I suppose since they are 2 different types of material they can only match it so much. I like the suede because it is warmer, gives a touch of extra "wow, nice" and have you ever had anything on your passenger seat slide to the floor or off the edge when cornering or braking? The suede hangs onto it really well, lol, silly but a nice bennie. Thats my take. Great product and the group buy price is the icing on the cake!!
