The take-offs are brand new so no they won't look old... They will have wrinkles for the first few days from being stuffed into the shipping box ...

NewTake Off will only have black ... I got the Red from eBay. Two weeks ago on the local Craigslist a guy was selling the complete Front and Rear Seat in Red ... Plus the Red Insert shaker Door Panels and Red Floor Mats. He wanted $700 for everything. I offered him $300 for the door panels but he wouldn't split up the set. I paid $400 for the Red Take off leather on eBay and sold my Black V6 Leather for $200 ...

Takeeoff parts usually come off cars with less than 50 miles on them or something, like the cars roush or saleen use. They should be in almost perfect condition.

I did mine also. Ditched the crappy tan cloth ones. I too had a problem getting the handles back on the seat, but, I figure, since Im really the only one who is in the car, who cares.

I did the leather upgrade as well, I thought it was a pretty straight forward install, the work (approx 3 hours) was soooo worth it. I always hated the cloth look and the cigarette smell from the previous owner. I would HIGHLY recommend this easy, inexpensive upgrade.
