Yes. All new seat foam. They feel amazing!!!
Thanks. The car is silver and I am doing black wheels with yellow calipers. I hope it all ties in together the way I want it to.
It was a PITA! Took a while but wasn't that hard as long as you take your time.

You said to tell you what we think, so I will.
They do not look good to me. There are too many wrinkles and places where the leather is not tight or smooth. This is something I see on many cars where the owners have installed the seat covers themselves.
The problem is the owners do not know the correct way to install the covers so they look really good. Even the perfect seat cover, installed on new foam, will not look right unless the installer is very proficient.
My background is I have done upholstery on collector cars for the last 25 years. I would not let a pair of seats that looked like that leave my business.
Remember, you asked.

I was just commenting on the quality of the covers, as I saw it." Didn't your momma teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say than keep your mouth shut? Sorry to rant on but if your gonna slap it out on the table I'm gonna cut it off.
