GSR interior upgrade to leather

OEM mitsubishi leather seat covers, door inserts and console cover. It was the first time the dealer had tried to order these and we thought we were getting the MR seats but these were a little different (they think we got the FQ360 seat covers) as they lack the suede in the center but actually I am kind of happy about it because I don't have to worry about keeping the suede nice. Anyway a big improvement IMHO..now feels like a 30K car inside. Price was $1300 installed.

Not much slipage so far...My experience is that it is bad a first and gets better so the fact it is not bad already seems to be good. From the picture it looks smooth but the leather is textured so it grips pretty nicely....for temp I have heated seats installed.
