Nicely done.

Do you have seat heaters with the OEM seat? It would be really nice in those cold Quebec winter days!! That's about the only thing fabric seats are good for as they don't feel as cold in the winter.

If you don't then there are aftermarket seat heaters, I know I love mine (OEM) seat heaters in the winter!

Yes I do. One of the reason for perforated seats, they're better in the winter AND summer... and transmit heat quicker.

seems like the lower solid sides on the passenger side should be a bit tighter, looks a bit loose, perhaps they just need to form a bit since being new? Steam them?

Looks great....anyone look at the cost here in the states to do the same?

Finished the back seat today. I'm really happy witht he way the whole thing came out. I'm pretty picky about that stuff and couldn't be happier with the end result. Plus, it's comfortable!

Easy... well, not really easy. But very doable if you're a handy type. Most of the material is held in place by hog rings and plastic retainer. So you cut away the hogs, and remove the retainers... Then re-install everything back the way it was, with some fitting and adjusting off course but overall, fun project.

I'm hoping to finish my rear seat tomorrow morning.

More pics to come.
It looks amazing...but I dunno about the process being fun :P I did the same job on a previous car of mine....bout a good set of hog ring pliers, lots of new hog rings - even had a friend with me.

After the front seats were done, my hands were killing me :O

Well we really had fun doing it... I think the best way to do this is to have a couple friends helping you... maybe a couple beers...etc...

If I had another car that needed leather, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

I didn't do the doors as they're are already leather. Same for the armrest.

If you were to do the door, pretty easy, take the panel off, lay it flat on a table and work on it from the back.
