Stock 07 Seat Covers On Older Seats
I recently installed some 07 cloth covers on my 03 seats due to side bolster wear and I just wanted to let people know that the seat covers fit with little modification.
The handle on the back of the passenger seat to tilt the back forward is in a different place however. the (atleast) 03 seat's pull was up higher, requiring that I slot the opening in the rear to fit. it is not very noticeable but it's just something to keep in mind if anyone else tries this. I will take pictures next weekend.
The install was fairly easy, but time consuming. anyone who has installed leather seatcovers has to do the same thing. freaking hogrings
the pattern is also slightly different looking more hexagonal than the carbon fiber-ish pattern of the 03 seats. they are also more shiney and smoother on the bolster material.
so to recap:
- 07 cloth seat covers WILL fit a 03 seat, but the passenger pull handle is in a different location requiring you to slot the back (I used a razor)
- different material and center pattern
- looks great.
