I finished the passenger side first, and put the sheep skin covers back on. I had just finished the drivers side, and i'm in the process of washing the wool covers.

I'm going to keep the covers on the front two seats, since they are used everyday, and take them off if i need the car to look better
The rear seats have a metallic sunshade cover + tinted windows, so they should be fine.
I'm such a neat freak
I bet, when i get a new car, I'm going to cover those seats too

Guess who just got their replacement? . Only problem is that I wont be able to pick it up until tomorrow night lol! AND to add to that, I have a midterm tomorrow, so I'm just as distracted as you were Bryan

I'll probably do all this this weekend. Otherwise I'll be driving in an ES with no seats other the the drivers :rofl:

Midterm...Already?!!?!? UCI doesn't start for another week!
Where did you get your replacement seats from? Don't you hate it when UPS comes when you're not home and you have to wait until the next day to get it

-Do the lower rear seat cushion first, its the easiest to do.


-The front seat metal pan has some very sharp edges, i accidentally kneeled on an edge, trying to pull the sides down and i still have a 2 in long scar on my knee to prove it.

Lol, I transferred to CSUF since I didn't like UCI. Best decision ever since I'm happy now

I got the replacements from leather-seat on ebay. Total for the "higher end one" was about $400 shipped. I'll probably start today or something since I don't have school tomorrow

Ugh, it smells like Leatherique. I thought I was rid of that smell after I sold the remainder and went to Leather Masters...

Perforation looks good though

Fingers are sore. Since I didn't have a hog ring pliers, I had to ziptie it first, then do the rings with a pair of normal pliers

Gonna go to HD, Lowes, and Sears to find one....

How is the leather quality? PICS OR DIE
Home Depot has hog ring pliers. Look in the chain-link fencing area in the store.

Hahahaha, I give you one teaser, full size too since you need to zoom in

The seats aren't too bad. Quality wise, it feels almost the same as my mums RX, just slightly more grippy, which is good in my book. I'll probably have you look at it if I come down with my ES during school so I know exactly what I bought lol
PS, I cut my finger somehow. It didn't hurt until I noticed that it was bleeding heavily. Funny how that happens lol....

I didn't know you could order perforated inserts
Looks nice though.

2/3 of the seats are finished. Only have the driver side left before a complete install. Discovered a ton of dog hair today under the passenger too. I made it a rule that no dog, food, or drink with any type of coloring/sugar will be allowed in my car after its finished >:] haha

Perforated seats were a custom request from the guy. He made a mistake the first time so it took about 3 months for the perforated seats and correct colored leather came in. Looks just like the perforated seat patterns in the IS's
