    I guess I will jast have to drive so fast that everything is a blur to passengers and onlookers. Then they won;t notice the "less than straight" stitching. lol

    It is a little crooked though

      I'll second that :) Very nice looking. Not perfect, but what is? My seats were recovered by Rob S (pics of the final products this week!) and there are negligible differences between my cloth grey sport seats, and OEM grey cloth sport seats. Will someone notice? Maybe. Do I care? Not a bit. Do they look good? They look amazing!

      Do what makes YOU happy, which looks like you're doing just fine. Take the criticism with a grain of salt, apply what you agree with (like you did with the wrinkles, etc.) and respectfully disagree with comments you dont.

      Clean, nice cab. Keep us updated!

        thanks man! No new pics for today. I got a compliment though, a girl I know at school said "that car is sexy".

        I also fixed my window switch, and glued the carpeting in. The instructions said it was molded to fit well enough that it does not nessecitate adhesives. They likely assume that you have all the foam still. I used carpet pad to build up in the footwells and stuff, fits great now.

          Pretty much clears up any regrets on doing it then, doesn't it? :)

          "She think's my tractor's sexy.."-some horrible hee haw country song.
