How come the pictures from leatherseats.com look so much different? Is this what all the kits look like or is this the result of incomplete installation?

The driver's seat is improperly installed.

I think the covers are on correctly but the cushion may have taken some beating. First time seeing the top part of the seat wore out like that. Most likely the cushions wore down lessening the original thickness. Should go out and buy some high quality cushions and pad the area where it have heavy wear, and recover the leather to restore the original shape and tightness.

When I did mine I bought a bag of filler they use to make stuffed animals and quilts. It made the seats look more full so they didn't have that sagging look.

Thanks for the filler tip. I was going to tighten it in the coming weekends with a good pull, but filler is a better idea. The drivers was very worn out.
