Did you add a cushion foam so that the massagers won't be so painful to sit on? Is it installed on the passenger seat already?
I didn't add any extra foam but they haven't been a problem yet. My wife can't even feel the metal plates on the massage units through the new covers. I remember reading someone had some problems but I'm not sure the reason. I'm running the power for the massage unit tonight and I'll give you my thoughts on it tomorrow.

Default AWESOME!!!

Nice install...great job!

How difficult was the install? Front seems like it would harder to do then the back. How hard/easy was it to remove the front seat from the car and does the plastic shroud part around the seat bottom come off? I have a crack by the seat back release that I have to fix before putting my skins on. Thanks! Once again, great install!

Fronts are definately more difficult than the back. Pulling the seat is easy. Just remove the 5 14mm bolts and undo clip. Once you pull the seat, flip it upside down. Remove the seat adjustment buttons. There are 3 screws in the front of the plastic cover and 3 on the side under the buttons. Take them all out. The recliner handle can be a PITA but it was pretty easy for us. Get a flash light (unless it's really bright in your house) and needle nose pliers. Gently pull back the plastic cover and you'll see the C clip holding the handle in place. Use the pliers and just pull it out. Handle will slide out and you'll be able to remove the whole cover.

I'm doing the drivers seat tomorrow. I'll take some pics if you like.

The pics of your new leather look excellent, the 2 tone effect is great. Looks sharp. Show more pics if you can.
