Are those new seats going to be custom, or the stock leather? (very costly)

I only Rub when I turn. I cut the plastic liner off so im sure it's rubbing on the metal fender well when I turn. Also I routed the harness already.

Nice so far. Are you putting the 97 kit on later? All I see is the front bumper.
