New mod...new leather
I finally got my leather installed from the 2nd group buy from leatherseats.com last year.
Want to thank LXOGOOD for answering my questions. Got it done @ Luxury Motorworks (actually, they outsource to an uphostery shop). Very happy with results...one thing we overlooked is if you have heated seats, make sure you tell them, so that they take it off your old seats and sew it back into the new leather. Cost is a little more for doing that.
Edit: They also put in foam padding if needed.
Here are the pics: Nothing too wild. I conditioned it, so you still see the excess residue.

. This is because they would have to take the door panels apart.

Definitely OEM-like quality. They put in additional foam padding, this makes the seats a little stiffer which gives better support. Of course, you get the new leather smell!
