Looks great, but I agree with one of the previous posters about the temperature. Its so much cooler in the car with cloth, so I'm pretty happy as is.

So, what about the airbags in the seats? I know that in previous cars with airbags in the seats, it required special stitching in order to allow the airbag to release.

Since these are an OEM part, I bet it's OK, but I just wondered.

And I wonder if you'll get the leather/cloth pulling out around the head rest insert? I would have been interested to see how that portion installs...

Looks really nice! Good deal for $1300 installed.

+1 for part numbers.

I'll probably do just the door inserts for now.

Hi guys...to answer your questions...

Airbags should work fine as they are Mistu seats installed by a Mistu shop.

I will try and post more closeups today so you can see the detail.

I am not sure that you can get just the inserts as I think it is a "package".

Stay tuned for pictures of my custom 2-tone leather interior. I promise...... will blow away those leather seats from Mitsu. Looks like directly from the factory. Awaiting wifey back from vacation with the digital camera. Did I mention AME Circular-R rims and Toyo tires too???

I emailed Don Herring and he called the package: "Mitsubishi Certified Leather Interior" for those of you asking your parts desk for this.

He said the price sounded about right.

I was just busting everyone's *****. Your seats actually look awesome .......just playing around. If I had know that those were available...... I would have purchased them myself. Funny........ how did you know mine were black and red???? I had them black with red inserts on the seat and back. The door panels were red also. The shift boot red with black piping. I am going to post pictures as soon as I get the digital camera back! BTW...... I had an after-market company do the work. They did a great job....... but for $2300.

The leather looks great!!!!

i have a strong suspicion that these are not actually MITSUBISHI leather covers.. but rather a dealer's "twist of words" on aftermarket leather...

The price matches what aftermarket companies would normally charge for aftermarket leather...

I could be wrong, but I dont think these are actually a Mitsubishi part.
