Looking good Dave!!! It does definitely add a different feel to the car. I just wish I could drive mine now that they're done (getting 3 to 5 inches of evil white stuff today). Now you just need a set for CoolBLue

Those look great!

Did you save the cloth seat skins? I wouldn't mind putting those on a project car of mine.

Yes I did save the old skins. With the MrMike seats, it has you removing two sections of padding from the old seat skins.

If the old skins are reused, you would need to get a 1/2 ' thick piece of foam to replace it. It would be very easy to do.

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. I did the seat & back bolster fix. The seats feel brand new. Very firm & holds you right in the middle. I did not realize how bad the seat had gotten.

After talking to a few PPF members & watching MrMikes DVD instructions, I did the passenger seat first, took me about two hours.
I went slow, as I didn't know what I was doing.

The drivers seat took about an hour. After installing both, I can say the kit is very easy to install. Before I started, I was sacred I would screw it up.

I'm glad they turned out so good. Thank MrMike for making such a great product.

Those of you looking at Dave, Coolblue87GT's "before" seats were probably thinking they looked pretty good. Especially me since the Dog got in my car and Ate my Seats, they looked real good.

In one of those random acts of kindness, Dave boxed up his old seat skins and sent them to me along with extra cotton, hog ring pliers and the installation DVD. He refused to accept any money from me even to cover the shipping charge. That was an Awesome thing man! I owe you one.

If everyone just did one act of random kindness this world would be a much better place.

Wow! Those turned out great! I have some wear on my drivers bulster and have been eyeing the Mike seat skins. I may just have to pick some up now. I would love to stick cloth though.
