New Seat Cover From Hawks Third Gen Parts

So I ordered a new upholstery set for my 86 TA. They look good but are darker than the originals so here is my question. Do you think the new colors will dull out the interior? Don't mind the rest of the car the new carpet is sitting in the garage as well. Sorry for the crappy picture.

So I did both front seats and they look great did the rear seats and seat backs don't lign up with the bottoms. It pattern is off rather disapointing considering the price of the upholstery set. Tell me what you guys think.

Try switching the seat bottoms from one side to the other.

Wouldn't make a Difference the dark section on the bottoms is wider than the backs
