The rear seats are in. I have disassembled the door panels and took out the leather padding. Now, I am disassembling the front seats. It's a lot of work, but I'm getting there... slowly...

haha thanks.

I left the cloth armrest for now. It just feels much more comfortable than the leather one. Still have to do the doorpanels.

Mine are not perforated, it's the regular leather seats. $300 is the total cost. I actually got the seats for approx. $150, then add gas & other costs to pick up the seats and a bit for the tools (hog ring pliers & hog rings). All in all, not a bad deal.
