As far as I'm aware you dismantle the interior, undo the original cloth trim, rip it out and replace it?

Looking at the cost, time for install and the fit... I would say its retrim and not a cover...

$1000 for seat covers :shock:
$1000 for complete trim :D

Hello :)

As for the install Brian is correct you are required to pull the factory covers off your seats. This requires you pulling the seats out and un-doing the covers one c-clip at a time (pliers is all you need here).

I will not lie this is a time consuming task it took me a full day for the front seats and another for the rear with around half a day for the door cards. The how to guide provided by shadows is all you need it is very detailed with 600+ photos to help you through plus all the required tools.

Don't let the amount of work scare you, this was my first attempt at any sort of upholstery any mine I feel turned out as good as OEM I only have one very slight crease in the bottom of the back seat.

I originally thought they were the complete trim.. makes sense for the cost.

Thanks Chubb :D

If you attempt to do everything in one day, surely its going to be hard... . Do one thing at a time... .

I say get them. Have a look at the instructions. Study them. Get a mate to look a them too. Then if you decide not, sell them for what you paid.

time consuming yes hard no.

ubolt/unscrew the seat, peal back the original cover, remove all existing c-clips, add leather as instructed adding new clips as you go.

I recommend starting with the back seat bottom and go from there, this will introduce you to the job at hand in a gentle fashion.

Just as an update, We're now down to 7 buyers. All have paid but andrewh88 has asked to change his design. I've given him up till tonight to give me a new order form.

Will pay tomorrow then all the wheels will be in motion!

I would like to pull out.... MY SEATS! haha.

Thanks for your input Chubb, I saw your leather at the QMF cruise and it looked like it was OEM, OEM quality, OEM fit. Looked really nice!
