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.

I might feel the same if I lived in southern CA instead of Cleveland..... Hot wearther not such an issue :)

$1300 installed in REALLY CHEAP for leather. This price amazes me. Congrats on the leather man, looks great!!!!

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???:D

Not in a contest...BTW, are they the seats with the red/black?

goofygrin Aug 27, 2008 02:30 PM

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 balls. :D Your seats actually look awesome{thumbup} .......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???? :confused: 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. :eek:

so was the leather a slip on or completely new seats? and also, how did you get heated seats? i need heated seats in my car for the harse winters...

antics22 Aug 27, 2008 03:10 PM

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.
