I like the fresh leather, but it looks way too wrinkly...

What do you mean by send back? The seats? The leather you wrapped them in? I doubt you can return them once they've been installed.

it was done at an upholstery shop. send back meaning request them to redo the seats.

I'd have them look at them again.

If they're going for the GS300 wrinkle look they should get the wrinkles uniform across both seats for that kind of money.

The passenger seatpad has WAY too much wrinkle-slack going on.

This is a leatherseats.com cover. These fit fairly tight but you do need to pull them taut.

First and only time Ive ever done upholstery work.

That looks like a half-assed job...Great idea getting them redone...but that work is not quality or your money's worth. You prolly could've done a better job yourself! lol goodluck!

Sorry, but that borders on terrible. Actually, no, that is a terrible job. AND for $1800!? You coulda bought used seats that look new for $500.
