Snapped a couple of pics.
Not the best pics and all but you can see in some spots it is a little bit loose. Leather is a little dry also so been conditioning them a lot too.\
Let me know if it looks like they were just not tightened completely or what.
Regardless I'm still really happy to have red seats finally and only spent a couple hundred to get em so not bad at all.













when i saw these i said damn those are hideous...no offense sorry.

you might want to add some more cushion under so its not so loose then tighten it as well. cuz that is unacceptable for me.

If they looked fit on the original car, then I don't see why you can't get the same fit.

I think you should get your money back and do the job yourself.

Just look at every picture of a normal S2000 interior...you have to see how different your seats look. Just take the loss and go back to the way they were.

Yeah I wish I knew if it was the seat cushions or them not being fully tightened or if the skins were stretched before being put on.

I don't know, they look OEM but they don't. This is part of the reason I won't buy parts for a car like this on eBay.

I definitely think they are oem. I think it might be poor install.
The guy obviously lied to me about the weather in FL making them shrink cause of the humidity he said. Dry would make it shrink since it;s leather.
I also now notice that on the inside bolster of the driver seat the cushion is gone from there. I can feel the metal of the seat there!!
