got my front seats reinstalled in the car.

the handle is still in the mail for the back seats so they aren't put back in yet, but the front seats on the other hand are back in the car

it cost me another $200 (so $450 total labor) and an extra trip back to get some of my parts because the guy didn't install the headrests and said they just clip in, which is true.. but FYI for you T/A guys, the metal clips that keep the headrests from being removed from the car also keep them standing up when they are in the upper position.


so i give you my new front seat upholstery.

oh and the seats aren't really as light as they look in those pics. that is due to a flash in a dark garage

here's a pic i snapped of one outside before putting it in.

i think they can but they mainly sell the stock colors.

www.hawksthirdgenparts.com is where i got them

$450 was the labor i paid to get the fronts installed/alighned/sewed

the upholstery kit cost $399 and the rears i did myself. i'm waiting for a new handle for one of the sides because the old one's bolt stripped getting it out and broke the nuts spot weld but the lower seats are done and the upper seat the upholstery is in position it just hasn't been hogringed down yet

The kit looks pretty good, except for the headrests. It looks like they made them too big. I suppose you could always stuff them with batting or something to fill it out a bit.

supposedly the headrests will shrink a bit once they have been on the car in the heat for awhile. or maybe glue them. right now they are just clipped on there using the factory mounting points (i had to modify the clips that came on them because they were too bg, so i had to cut them down to the same size as the factory ones were)
