I wasn't able to install the headrest covers. But the leather does look and smell awsome. Great job!

well i just need to take the old head rest off and take the leather from the old one and give it to an upholstery place and get the plastic strips swapped over to the new headrests! i bet there gonna charge an arm and a leg

but working at a dealership has it ups! the guy who does paintless dent repair took all the dings and dents out of my car for only 100 bucks....but i owe him a favor whenever he needs one lol. its all good.

I had to shave down the foam a bit to get my head rests to lock up.
