Roush Leather skins are HERE!!
I got a smoking deal on a brand-new set of Tan/Blue Roush leather skins, and cannot wait to install them! They are going to look FABULOUS!

Should look good with your Vista Blue car. I wish that Roush had a couple different color blues, instead of just this one. I wanted a dark leather with the Petty blue color inserts, but could only find Kaz with them for about a Grand. Went with factory leather takeoffs.

Plan on putting them on yourself? I got the stage 3 with charcoal grey and blue for my Vista Blue. Use cable ties instead of hog rings, makes things a little easier. Mine went on easily enough, but now the lever on the back of the front passenger's seat doesn't actuate the tilt feature, I have to use the lever on the side of the seat cushion. Trying to build up the ambition to fix it.

Thanks for the tip using zip-ties. I'd actually considered that, but didn't want to screw anything up, or have them come loose. Can you access the bottom of the springs from underneath, to tighten the ties down?

Mine came with instructions for where to put the hog rings, there are some metal pieces in the seat foam. Just use the cable ties there. Make sure the seats and your skins are warm. The rears are easy, the fronts are much harder.

Awesome advice! Thanks! I'll be doing this in my garage, and it'll be plenty warm. Plus, I have feminine help, with small hands, that will nag me to take my time, and not cut corners. Easy on the eyes, too! Win/Win!

Like Rocket Ray said, make sure they are warm when you put them on. Especially the head rests. If not, you might get a slight tearing where the pins go (headrests). There were 2 sets on eBay a while back, and both had the headrests torn by the rods. Good luck, and enjoy your interior. Pics when done????

I was going to wait until next weekend to install my new leather, but just couldn't wait. I got the rear seats installed today, and will do the fronts next Saturday.
The blue matches better than I thought it would, and I'm very satisfied with the quality and appearance. Not spending $1000 makes them look even better!
