Actually those red inserts do come out. I decided a while back that I didn't like the cheap look of the interior plastics in the car so I decided to cover all of my grey panels with red suede. I completely stripped the doors and took off the leather panels. The outer edges are glued on with a very strong adhesive. once you can get past this the glue is thinner and easier to remove. Just be sure to take your time and make small cuts with something like an exacto knife to get you started. The panel underneath is the same texture of the surrounding plastic. you just need some goo gone or something to remove the remnants of the glue. What do you plan on doing with it?

I just want them out. I'm broke, but one of these days I plan on swapping the leather seats for black racing seats and maybe seat delete in the rear. The red is starting to bother me now haha.

Well Yes and no on the pain in the ***. It is a pain to get started but once you figure out how it works it goes so much faster. You said red seat covers huh? I would absolutely kill to have the red seats. I have two tone black with grey inserts from the Cal Spec package. Would you be interested in a trade?

I Kind of want those Corbeau A4's. So you can just take off the leather on these seats? I'm almost actually tempted. Damn I hate temptation.
Where in TX are you? I'm outside of OKC.

I'm near San Antonio, but around the middle of this month I will be in the Dallas area for few days. The leather and the cloth on the factory seats are just covers. The easiest way to see how the leather comes on and off is to pull out the back seats. You can look at the back and see that mostly it is plastic clips that hold it on. The fronts are a little more involved but its not too bad. I want in the future to get some Recaro Style Toplines. Their Topline series has 6 way power and heating and cooling functions for both the front seats. Its pretty swank.
