Seriously?!

Thats just crazy. I used a 9" F-Sport roller with a 3/4 " nap cover to do mine. No danger of overspray, and it took like two minutes to do both seats! Probably due to the high performance bearings in the roller cage. Anyways, still trying to sand out the drips on the seats, but hoping it will look nicely blended when done.

I tried to use some gasoline to get the paint out....but the leather is discolored very bad......any spray paint available out there to match the color of the seats?

Default Finally installed my clips
Its been a while since I had them and here they are installed on my GS... It is a great look for the black leather interior and matches the nav trim..

I tried to get mine done for Carlisle, but didn't finish the car.

Bought mine at my local dealership here in NJ for $50 for the set of 4. I decided to paint them a blue that is close to the F-Sport blue.





BTW....I really hate the 2 screws at the bottom of each seat....

haha...I have to agree. I got mine from Darrel @ Sewell and decided to just install them. No paint of mine. I noticed mine, 2006, have a rubber material compared to the replacement ones. It gave me some ideas when I was installing them
