    Just a suggestion.. but after notcing your two tone door panels, IMO, I would eventually see what it would look like to apolster the middle of the seats with a grey material that matches the door panels and complete the two tone look.

    Just my honest opinion. Otherwise they still look very nice.

      It's not a show car, I don't care if the clothe on the door cards doesn't match the clothe on the seats.

        Have to admit, that would look cool though.

            I like it. Though I also loved the Corebeaus (sp?)

                yuck, dont like those seats at all. maybe its the pics that dont do them justice tho. idk tho, i like the shape of refular sport seats better tho.

                as far as the quality and frame goes...

                my dad is a professional auto upolster and i can tell you from first had of seeing my dad do some amazing interiors(30years of owning his ownshop, ive seen some damn sick cars get full interiors done) and i can tell you that robs work is just so so. I really hope you didnt pay too much for them. Custom seat covers are very hard and ill give rob a hand for that but that kind of work should just be left for pros to do.

                As far as the frame goes, plan and simple it should have been fixed before it was put back together. Seat frame welds often brake and then the frames sometimes get bent, they need to get straightened and welded up again.

                  I agree. You will have to pull the seat apart just to repair the frame. It should have been done in the first place.

                    I've welded Redbull325iS his seat back together, it's not that hard
                    I done it with several seats just pull off the bolster and cover the foam with wet cotton tissues to prevent the worst things

                        Thanks, I think your car is ugly too. I don't know what you mean about the "shape" but these are regular sport seats.

                        I am going to fix the frames the next time I go home.

                        I got rid of the Corbeaus because they were like sitting in wooden seats.

                          I think you car is how as hell, i dont care for the seats tho.

                          What im saying is that the seem to be so crappily put back together that they actually dont look like regular sport seat shapes. I actually thought they were something different at first.

                            I think they just look strange in the pictures because the thigh supporst are all the way in. I think we're just all used to seeing them completely extended.

                              ....and the fact that it's missing the cover back of the seat back, along with the covers that go around the side handles. These will look 10x better a leather headrest, and all assembled.

                                Yep. I'm not even going to post pics again until I (1) Put the back covers and handle on (2) Put the leather headrests on (3) Install new boots (4) Install UUC shift knob and ebrake handle (5) Install new Momo steering wheel. When I get the chance I am going to disassemble the seats and fix the frames too. Friend has a welder so it will be easy. It might not even need welding, a lot of people said the joints just need a lot of lube or they don't catch well. I also need to paint the frame brackets black again they are showing some rust.
