Re: Havent been on here for a while and this is why...

It would be awesome to find the original material.
What color are they? Save some of the material if they are grey, so you could use it later on to get reproduced. I plan on doing some business with you, but I have to get the body work done first.

Wow, you do amazing work. The Red/black sportster CS seats in the GTI are just HOT. Its nice to see something a bit different from the norm, yet still tasteful.

Some very nice work there. A vast improvement over factory. I'm looking to freshen my interior up in the next year but nothing like that.
