Yep...seats are stock SD. The engine cover took about a month to get due to SEMA (they shipped ALL of their inventory to that show). The quality is first rate....100% carbon fiber and fits a little lower than the stock cover, which makes it easier to fit a STB. I bought this because I cracked my stock cover and thought that since I am going to buy one, might as well get something unique...LXOGOOD also has the engine cover along with the cam cover. It actually looks 100% better in person.
