Lol, I'll upload a compressed file for you guys to DL. Much easier that way since you can see the perforation better

They're loose since I didn't want them to stretch much. I prefer somewhat loose over super tight anyway. Please remember that the befores (didn't take any) were all cracked and split into many pieces. The foam underneath had started to fall off too so I'm sure some can imagine that

A little loose, which is why i used a .5 in batting over the oem foam which has degraded from years of use. (like the mid console)
-seating the seam into the seat wires was uneven on the rear driver side bucket

From what i can see, i believe you have the same 'leather' as i do (you can tell from the perforation)

-The quality of the double stitching on this is better than mines, which had a really loose stitch pattern. Also, they got rid of the seam that runs right through the front bucket seat control panel. I had to cut a hole through that seam, and consequently, that seam has come undone on my driver's side.

Overall, great improvement over the old leather

The seats are sooooo stiff now. Hard to sit in it now since I can't just slide in like I used to lol
