Hello everyone!!!
Well, I finally got around to installing my seat covers I purchased from LeatherSeats.com. They are black with the perforated centers. It took about 3 hrs per seat to install, and I would rate the difficulty of the install about 8 out of 10. The factory plastic clips were a pain to remove without breaking and some of the J-clips were a pain to remove also. I have done a lots of mechanical work in my life, but I was not sure what to expect when I opened the box from LeatherSeats.com. There really isn't a whole lot to it. You just need a lot patience and a helper for a few of the pieces. My hands were raw after cutting off the old hog rings and installing the new ones. I highly recommend gloves for this part of it.
I must say that I am very happy with the results. They said the leather will tighten up with time and remove some of the wrinkles. Truth be told, I kind of like the wrinkled look, as it gives the leather a softer look/feel in my opinion. Lets see what happens with time I guess. While I was at it, I replaced the steering wheel and mats, with a Momo Jet and Zanardi products respectively. Its funny how you can do a few things to a car and totally change the way the car feels and drives. The leather makes the car smell great, while the wheel makes it feel like I am driving a totally different car. Great mod if you can live (no pun intended) without the air bag.
Anyway, here are a few pictures. I wish I would have taken a few before, but we all know what a bine stock interior on a 93 looks like. The seats were just extra dry, faded and scratched. The driver's side bolster was totally worn down to the raw leather. Just looked 13 yrs and 78k miles old you could say.
