Hey Matt,

are they designed for vehciles with side air bags in the seat like yours does?

I also noticed Mitsi have released seat genuine seat covers for the lancers now. but they don't wrap around completely to allow the seat air bag to come out

Nice job getting the seats out and back again....

I was a bit concerned too at the emboss section - as I thought it was meant to be real leather too, and I thought that they couldn't do that sort of thing to real leather
Although, I could also say I've not seen that colour in real leather either....

I hope its just the flash in the photos, and the time of day but they look very... err... how do I say...? Pink, in colour...? I assume they're Red red...

** I did also have a giggle at the steering wheel cover - sorry Matt...(with the dice from the wing mirror too - classic - lol)
I just love the leather, the stitching and the feel to the CJ Wheel... I'd hate to have a cover on it - the wheel would feel too think for my liking....

Shadows. Thanks for posting the how to guide on seat cover change.
Standard seats do not offer good under thigh support for long trips.

Any thought in trying to add extra foam & incorporate into the design of your leather covers? Poor man's Recaros?

Everybody....any after market seat height adjustors? ( spacers?...MM needs to look at adjustments for seat/steering... sorry to offend, but the old 2000 ImprezaGX base model had better seats with better adjustability)

After 1 hour, The Ralliart/VRX seats are as uncomfortable for me as the figure hugging (minimally padded, but very adjustable) RS/WRX seats of 2002.

Excellent job Mattigans they really lift the look of your interior
Very nice mate Congrats
The embossing sets it off nicely
How old is your car?
I'd chase the dealer up on warranty for your steering wheel mate
All the best
