I haven't posted in a while. I still drive my 95 LS a couple days a week and on weekends. I have been wanting to get new leather seats. I finally ordered them from a vendor I found on this site (leatherseats.com). I received the kit last week (seats, head rests and arm rests).

I ditched the beige and chose dark brown to match the trim. The quality and craftsmanship so far is really good. I plan on installing the seat covers when it cools off. I will post pics later. I only swapped the covers on the rear head rests to see the difference - nice

nice to see you back on steve! let's see hwat you got

In for pics. My driver seat leather is getting pretty bad on the bolster. Even my passenger seat is showing cracks. My rear seats though are still nice and supple since hardly anyone sits back there.

Did you buy the tool for the rings that hold the covers on?

Hey guys it has been a while. You may recall my car rolled out of my garage and side swipped every tree in my side yard before stopping against the street light....wow it was really expensive to repair the right way. I was going to junk it but honestly I just couldn't get rid of it. After I had new steel welded on and fresh paint it looked like new again.

The next step in the money pit was the interior. I have the lighter beige with dark brown trim. I decided to go with the dark brown seats throughout. I bought it from a vendor we all know.

They included front and rear seats, both arm rests, all head rests and the back of the drivers seats where the pockets are. I ended up getting the kit for less than $1,000 which included the hog rings and pliers used to install the new leather covers. I am pretty capable and plan on doing the install myself. The vendor was awesome and I will give updates as I install the covers.

Since it has been really hot in Houston I only have changed the rear head rests. I really like the color. The photos below don't do the color justice. Imagine the color matches the dark brown trim many of us have...I wish I had basic black but this is life...

I plan on tackling the back seat this weekend as I finally have some time. I don't drive the car daily anymore so I an do it as I have time. Here are quick pics:

best mod you can do for the interior. ive had mine for 3 years now and they still look good. gl with the install

Lextrician

wow those will looks good, the quality looks a little better since it is less smooth.

Rey

That looks pretty good. I know where im getting mine at now. Ive been told swapping covers isnt too difficult. This was also told to me by a person which at the time had very little automotive skills.

doing it right without any wrinkles or stretch marks is a PAIN. that being said, you cold prolly get a decent upholstery guy to do it for not much money if you take the seats out to him with the ready made covers.

my next time im going with that color i think..too much light brown(peanut butter) in my car..post up final pics steve...also what about katskins? too expensive?

steveski

I am definitely keeping the upholstery shop option in mind since I can remove all seats, etc. plus I have hardware, etc.

I looked at katzkins however, they did not list UCF20 (their stuff looks top notch though).

The seat covers are like pillow covers only they fit really snug. I will try this weekend at least the rear seat and do it little by little - I will definitely take pics....this may be longest interior install
