Default i got my seats!!!!

WHAO!!!!! finally i got my seat leather. it looks really good. i will post before and after pics. but it will be over time, as i am doing it myself. paid 400 and got front seat bottoms, front seat backs, front head rest, back bench seat, back seat back, and back head rest, rear console.
the leather is a little darker than stock, kinda wanted it that way. but the stitching is top notch!

well i got the leather for it but theres little plastic "clips" (one is in the shape of a "u" and the other is a flat peice, and the fold into each other and hook to hold the two end together) and there not on the new leathers so i gotta take them to an upholster person and get them swaped over to the new head rests...probly gonna be around 150 bucks lol.
