Default pics of new leatherseats interior

well i finally finished doing the install of the new seats from leatherseats.com

let me start off by saying , jeremy and eric are 2 top notch guys to deal with , always avail to answer questions

the leather is top notch quality , it makes my oem stuff feel like pure vinyl. the pattern was cut with such precison that the fit was even better then oem


the install was not hard by a long shot just time comsuming .. you will need 1 entire day and part of the next , most important is take your time

thanks bro for the kind words , feelin is mutual , was great hanging with ya in between those damm rain drops (thats south florida for ya)

gs300 rich-- thanks as well , yes i did my own install , actually was my first time ever doing something like this , their are just a couple of spots i want to adjust but my common sense tells me to wait until the leather has streched abit more form weight being applied then redo the bottoms to better smooth out, install was easy just takes abit of time and back breaking


thanks again guys for the comps

Ed -

The new seats look awesome!! Your car is definitely one of my favorite's on CL, and for good reason. Everything on there is just plain tasteful and classy, down to the new seats!! haha! The thing I admire the most is that you do your own installs and work....and coming from a non-DIY like myself, that's something to be appreciated!!! Keep up the great work and mod's..it's definitely an inspiration for me!!! - Mark

mark , a sincere thank you for your words, i guess i get this desire to do my own stuff from my pops , he was a tech engineer for IBM for 30yrs buliding mother boards and stuff, he never paid a soul to do nothing from rebuliding his own car engines to renovating the house


again i thank you bro and shall we say "mod on '
