I got the black ones. The install took me less than a day, and the padding was just fine. What took me the longest was cutting all the hog clips. I didn't like the e brake boot or the material for the back of the seats. If you are in no rush, wait till the bidding starts at a lower amount. I won mine for much less than the asking price.
i just ordered the front and rear for $300

Can we see some pictures of the seats closer to the base of the seat? I'd like to see how well they fit there. The first ones on the page look decent, but you can tell they are covers immediately by looking down at the base of the seat.

Yeah, I had them for about 5 month now. I won them in a no reserve auction for $90 shipped. It was the starting bid, and I was the only bidder. My old seats were real tore up, and I just wanted something to replace them. It was better than I expected.

i installed new seat skins in my RX7 a few years ago.
this is an awesome mod. it makes your car smell like leather (which i love) and it basically makes the seats brand new, as long as your pads are in good shape.
it is a LOT of work though to get them smooth and not wrinkly.

You do have to remove the old ones, and cut all the hog clips. You can either use zip ties, or hog clips to put them on. I used both, it is sort of a pain, but it can be done in less than a day.
