Default New Leather Seats -

So i just got my seats in the mail. I asked for a certain pattern and i did not get it.
The Tan Leather i did get looks great but it just isnt exactly what i ordered. I wanted Tan With Brown Center sections.
What do you guy's think i do
Keep the new tan leather? Which looks great
Send it back and be unsure if i will get anything back again.
Hold onto the seats until they send me the right Replacement pattern.
I feel like if i push i will end up Getting fu)))d by these people in the long run.

No they told me they would include them for no additional charge. Plus i wrangled with them for a lower price and feel like i got my money's worth with the Tan only. I am in a real moral dilemma

Triple C,

If you don't mind, where did you purchase them and for how much? I need to get my seats done, too!

If you paid with PayPal you're in good shape!

I did Pay with payPal but like i said it would probably be a month before i get the right Stuff Back. and i hate to say it but i am impatiant and having this nice leather just sitting here it is literally telling me to put it in the car.
I dont think i can wait. In fact i already put the Middle console together last night because i knew that was the right color i wanted even in my original order.

So I started With the Console. There are about 12 little Black Screws that need to be taken out

Once you get that done you can take out the Cup Holder Assembly 4 gold Screws

Once you have done that you can unscrew the Lifting Bracket at the base of the Consol

Now Remove and take out the Staples holding the Leather in Place and remove the old leather

Next I took some Spray adhesive I bought at Checker Auto for carpet and upholstery and sprayed the leather and Surface of the Arm rest

Now you just stretch it to fit. Mine was a little Short Right in the very Front and no mater what I did it was just a little too small. It covers the entire surface but it not 100% Perfect

I am not sure if you can tell but I went ahead and put some Krazy Glue under the corners that were a little short then stapled it down to the Surface to stay in place over night.
This is the finished product

Before

Triple C,

Did you buy them from the "leather-seats" username person on ebay. If so, I wanted to know how the seats were? Were they real-looking or cheap-looking? No disrespect intended. Thanks!
