I was actually talking to shadows about this last night lol. You have to take off your original trim so that means cutting or spreading apart the clips that hold our stock seat covers on. Being really tank and putting his ones on making sure theres no creases etc.

Although its possible for us to do, it would be a work out. Im considering getting some aswell because my mum wants to buy me 'seat covers' for my birthday. I think ima show here that :P:P

No idea on the quality though. But you know how shadows is. All his stuff is OEM quality so it has to be good. Shadows hasnt led us a stray yet!!

I actually recently bought these on my last work trip to sg.
the authorised Leather shop, actually gave me a whole tour of the factory, and the whole singapore. (talk about good customer service!)
i packed it in my luggage to save shippin. LOL

finished installing the seats last week, and have to say, im loving it..
it was easy to install, as there are step to step instructions from taking it out and putting the leather on.. yet took me a while tho as i did it weeknights after work.. still have to do the door panels :S

quality? excellent! majority of the covering is leather.. some are vinyl type, just for the edges, i guess so its stronger when u pull/fit it. but overall is 11 out 10!

i will post some pics installed if you want including the factory.. hehe
just currently at melb, but ill be back in sydney to upload the phots.

hey hey, yeh ill show you next time i see you.

the middle arm rest at the back seats are still there.
thats all leathered up seperately, so its still functional.
whatever functions on factory covers is still the same once you put on the leather. u prettymuch rip out the cloth, and replace with leather..

leather is much better esp when you're eating a burger while driving, and the mayo drips out and falls on to your seat.. (guilty!) with leather, its just one quick wipe~ i strongly recommend! (just watch out for those studded jeans that could scratch ur leather. grrrr..
