895, A friend at a shop got all this for me though, so I'm not sure what everyone else is paying.

The only thing I see is the leather looks a bit loose... but after it heats up and cools down a few times it may tighten up.. overall it looks nice though.

Looks good, I like the color scheme. I plan on this as well, but I want heated seats (they don't weigh anything) and something fabric with leather bolster protectors like your typical Recaro / Sparco. I'd take the stitching out but I don't think it looks that bad.

Its not really lose at all, and that is exactly what it needs is to sit in some hot sun then cool down so it stretches and shapes like it should. Its actually really tight.

they won't protect you like those air bags in the factory seats will

yeah, I worked for a canvas shop and we would do boat and car seats pretty frequently so I like to think I can spot a good job when it's done. I like what you have done though... and the stitching I like as well. Didn't like the Evo X in the head rests, but you're getting that taken care off... all it would need is a different style font really.. or maybe a different font with just X or Evolution embroidered.

yea lose the wording.

i like the look but i dont really like the doors or the gray. the black leather with some suede in the inserts would have been better then the gray. kind of like the IX MR seats were.

I dont like the suede look cause one it looks so bad after a short amount of time, and two I just dont like it. I also hate how the X is all one color in side. Its just an opinion of mine. Everyone has one. I like how the door cards looks now. They were starting to look really bad with the stock Crap. The current will look good a lot longer where my arm rests.

This might sound corny, but the middle armrest is sick! Probably the cleanest part of the leather job IMO. maybe because its a nice, flat surface, and the leather is really tight and clean there. The door cards are also really clean.

Looks good and taking out the "evo x" is a good decision.

since your friend has already made a set of door inserts, would he able to make another set if he saved the template? I'm interested in a set, in black leather. If you could ask him for me and let me know how much it would run i would be indebted to you. just shipped, i could put it in myself.

i am with you 100% on the stock ones. they look pretty bad and are on a steady path to looking like total crap
