Awesome. Ive got to find out how much those inserts are.

Insert look stock, looks great.

Did you have to take the seats out to install?

OP, thanks for sharing.

You said it took you roughly 4 hours per seat. Would you say you do a lot of DIY installations etc?

I am curious if it took you 4 hours and you are very skilled, or it took you 4 hours because it was first time doing something like this etc.

Looks great.

4 hours per side sounds about right with taking the seats out, taking them apart and install. Helps to have a second set of hands with the hog rings. Get a good set of pliers. Even the headrests are a challenge and take time. We'll worth the effort though

this was my first time installing something like this, so i cant say i am the most handy person for this project. But what i realized was that actual leather install time depends on how perfect you want the seats to be finished. I tried to make it as close to oem fitment as possible so i stretched, heated and massaged these leather alot. I couldve done a quicker job but wouldve left alot of wrinkles and sags. Heck im stil not quite happy with a bit of wrinkles on drivers side so i might take it out and massage a bit more, but u can call me crazy for that lol

Thanks for the info

I got a quote from a local interior shop, and they quoted me $85 per hour, with 4 to 6 hours of labor to complete the install.

Looks amazing.

If I had cloth seats I'd consider doing it.

Vaibe · 01-14-2015, 03:25 PM

Do these just go over the cloth seats? Or do you need existing leather seats?

You strip the seats to the padding then install the leather. Doesn't matter what it had before.

That's pretty cool. Does it feel similar to factory leather in other cars?

Yes the same. But you can pick custom colors, stiching, perforation, embroidery and add heated seats. Very nice

Are the door inserts from the same site? I don't see them listed under the products section. That being said, how was the install on the door inserts? Did you happen to take any pictures?
