haha it looks good, next time around, I think I may ask Mark to do mine with Zip ties, had no doubt it worked, read some places did it like that too. How's the back row fitting? I have yet to get the bottom of mine to sit in the right spot to close the gap, once you take them out they seem to not want to sit in the same spot

the material doesn't sit right or the seat itself? I've had the bottom of my rear seat out at least 10 times but then again you and i have different rear seats, the verts are cake to pull out

It won't sit in the right spot, coupes seem to be more difficult since the tops folds. I'll show you next time we meet up, maybe we can figure it out....it drives me nuts, but I've read it happens to anyone with a coupe who removes their bottom seat until they figure out how to properly put it back in place

There were a few problems but Eddie and I figured them out..
1-One of the seat cushions for the front seats wasn't formed perfectly, we had to work it in.
2-We had a problem with one seat, aligning the holes for the headrests (we put together and forgot to make holes)
We also had a problem with the sequence to tie seats in, just a case of trial and error.
We had to modify the seats to fit the side airbags, but we did it...
3-The back seat fit perfectly, I suggest when you install and prefit..where there is a gap you need to work the leather inward
(Eddie installed the rears, he has a future in seat installations) and fill gap..
4-We un-installed and re-installed the heated seat elements from fronts and backs...secured them w/adhesive and positioned them so
he could have fully functional seats.

I cut my hand real bad taking out the hog rings...I can say this to you....Hog rings are not necessary, they bite back...
Look in the picture of me as a china man installing the zip ties, that is a 1 inch rip in my flesh where I gaffed my hand with the hog rings a moment earlier.

It really wasnt that hard, the zip ties worked (some said they wouldnt) and his car looks like a million bucks.
and we had fun in the process....a good day,
