Is this what u want??? I bought the leathers from a seller on ebay, think I paid $350.00 & this included shipping. They came in about 1 week and included the headrest leathers also. Very easy to install, with tools that you can buy at Harbor freight. They are called hog ring pliers and they were $4.99 a pair.

NO! Please dont buy those shiet seats they are of lesser quality than your stock seats! Get your stocks redone or buy some used "safer" seats. May I ask why you went with SMALLER rims though?

He will make the seats in any color you like. I checked his other auctions and did the make an offer deal & he accepted. Nice leather quality and the heaters in your old seats will work fine, so long as your not a SONSO and cut them when talking off the old leathers.

I had cheap MSR 20x8's all the way around...I got Ruff 18x8.5 fr and 18x9.5 rear with 225 front 275 rear tires. This allows me to lower the car as well without making any other changes...

And where would u recommend me getting my stocks redone? Do you think it would be smarter to just buy some cheap aftermarket seats (like the fake nismo's off ebay) and then sell my orange ones for a lot more? i know they're not as valuable but they might look nicer, and they say nismo on them, and i'd get some cash on top after selling the orange...?

I was going to say leatherseats.com as well.

I was actually thinking myself if I ever did get seats I would go black primary with small red inserts and silver piping.

They had shift boots and wheel covers too.

Another option is to swap someone for black leather seats or sell those seats outright.

If they are in good condition they are still worth something in the marketplace.

This is too complicated for DIY. Go to your local auto upholstery shop. There must be some reputable shops in San Antonio.

Trade someone your burnt orange leather seats with someone that has black. The burnt orange seats are the bomb and plenty of people on here would love to have them.

You caould always get a set of red and black Sparco's
