Thanks dude. With that black plastic steering wheel I had to cover it with something. LOL The Dove grey interior now is not so bad with all that black leather. I am thinking some black door sills will look nice to match the leather. Oh man the mod list just never gets shorter......it just keeps growing.

Ive been thinking about doing this one. Glad it went so well. I think you just bumped it up the list a few places.

That looks so much better. I really like the contrast of the black and tan. Looks really good.

Stin, dude, if you got the cash buy them, it completely transforms the interior.

Post of pic of your backseat and we can compare.

C/Cool, the "wrinkles" you see in the picture are not a big deal at all. But I would imagine with the heat of the sun warming the car up over a few weeks will smooth them out. Dude I am so comfortable in my car now the wrinkles are the last thing on my mind. I should have done this two years ago when I bought the car.

@Commander, when I swapped to Pony Package leather this summer it only took about a week to look factory.

@808, did you use any foam in the rear seats to fill the gap in the upper area? I'm installing these leathers this weekend and wanted to get rid of the slack.
