Default Re-upholstered the OEM seats with red OEM replacement leather

I covered my original seat with Clazzio seat cover but sort of want that headrest hole in the seat and wanting to try to reupholster it...turned out well. Notice thr OEM res vs bright red of the Clazzio.

It was around $805 if you go for the leather (instead of vinyl) & install it yourself

Pretty sure they're meaning the cost, as in the damage it cost your wallet.

Where did you get the new covers?

Most diy upholstery comes out as wrinkled as an aging starlet overdue for latest botox treatment. Yet owner proudly displays the cringe worthy results.

Yours is pretty darn good! Without steam usually not possible to get results that good. How'd you do it?

If you install the hog rings in the correct oem locations then it should stretch the leather out nicely. It's super obvious once you are in there.

I got the leather from LeatherSeat.com
there is a diy video on their website. They did use steam to get rid of a little bit of wrinkle but in my case looks like its not needed.
