Things Come out better when YOU Do Them




Ok, Since My Interior is virtually finished.. I have But One more Job that I want to Do that i was going to Leave to the Uphoulsters... As with everything else with my car I have read the how to's and experemented and did it...

Now Im ready to take On a WHOLE NEW Project.... MY SEATS!...They are The GTA power Leather weird headrest Ones and they are Virtually Destroyed. Where You sit the seats are Cracked All Over BAD. Passenger side is to the point where you sit On foam.. Where Your back Goes Against is still Ok, But Worn.. Headrests are Dry and cracked.. back seats are MINT! haha..

I dont want Leather anymore.. I want the Cloth ( not really Into Leather).. I found new covers from hawks third generation for like $349.00 In black cloth.

Now, HAS ANYONE Done this before, Does anyone have any tips for me? and advice would be GREATLY apreciated..

Re: Things Come out better when YOU Do Them

I've installed a few leather kits ( I know thats not what you're doing but...) I've found a steam wand works wonders. You can rent one. If you don't want to go that route, even letting the pieces sit in the sun before you install them, helps quite a bit. Really softens up the material, and helps to smooth out wrinkles. When they return to a cooler temp, they will tighten up even more. Bout' the only tip I can think of right now.
