thanks Spike, much appreciated. I plan on doing a complete photoshoot as soon as the seats tighten up. This way everyone can see how they turn out once they shrink a bit and the wrinkles work themselves out.

 

I have just started the replacement process for the factory cloth covers in my 06 LeMans Sunset 6MT. I ordered the Premium Seat covers in burnt orange leather, Shifter Boot and Armrest Covers to match. So far I have done the Drivers seat, shifter boot and head rests on both sides. The effort involved to do this yourself is quite substantial. My fingers were tired after the drivers seat was done. I am very happy with the results. And Yes the sun helps to tighten the covers over time.

One twist on my install is the addition of Seat heaters. My car did not come with factory seat heat so adding them is a bit of a challenge. I bought the corbeau kit for $200. The one I installed in the Drivers seat works really well. I live in the Heat of Texas and I don't really need them but wanted to add this custom touch for future cooler weather driving.

I added a couple small pictures to this post for viewing.

 

@ corsairprime, how about a completed pic?

 

Quick question for anyone with the real leather upholstery. is this leather vat-dyed (color goes all the way through, and is the same front and back), or is the color just a layer sprayed on the outside surface?
