Its funny my seats have angered most that responded. Nevertheless I'm excited to get these puppies back in. I see one Canadian has bucked the trend and is with me on this..Quite a few haters though so far.

Are you doing all the seats like that or only the back lower?

If you do them all it might look good, just the back lower will probably look whack.

it looks like he's just doing the faces, not including the rear back rests. the tan looks like it's still gonna be there... i actually think it might look like ass. :closedeyes: shame

I'm only replacing the leather sections of the seats..The other parts (the seatbacks and middle section of rear seat) that are not leather are okay. I did this to save alot of money. It would of cost $1600 to do the whole thing, I'm paying $900

$900 to re-do the bottoms of the seats?!?! why not just buy some good condition used ones and avoid the super weird partially two tone seats?

The birch wood that they offered as the only option on the tan interior R-types has to be the biggest mistake ever made. They should have went with a darker wood it actually looks like an aftermarket kit. I know their was no other choice offered. Also the problem with two-toning that has not been done from factory is it wont go with the style of the rest of the interior as your seats will stick out against the rest of the contrast. If your happy with the finished product than that is all that matters.

I just don't understand the logic at work here. I would think if you were really concerned with "saving lots of money" you wouldn't have refinished the seats. I mean why spend $900 to have it look unfinished?

Couldn't you have redone the center in leather to match?

I think they look great other than that middle piece on the back.

I will be redoing my seats in matching Grey ultra vinyl with charcoal suede on the inserts and half the bolster piece. I will be replacing the entire bottom cushions but keeping the back rest shells since the seats have air bags. Since the vinyl is a match it wont be noticable.

Those seats look great other than the oodd color combo, although most of that wont be seen in the car so don't worry too much.
