I'd go with OEM leather seats myself. I've yet to see any Katzkin setups that dont look loose and cheap. But I suppose that also may be secondary to install quality.

Look at the head rests. Not trying to be an ***, just pointing out what I'm seeing with my eyeballs.

Ya, exactly. Oh, 2 low's right, I had fiberglass race seats in an older car, really uncomfortable w/o seat cover. I was cheap, so I elected to not spend for the seat cover, it mighta made a diff. The slotted holes in lower seatback lined up perfect w/ my spine. :banghead:

Michael, I see that. I believe that's due in part to the Bowtie sewn in.

The seats look OEM otherwise, probably the best set I've seen. Since you mentioned you worked for a professional upholstery shop, I'd guess that the install has a big deal to do with the overall quality outcome.

yup pretty much if you take your time and have a steamer like i said before theres no reason that they wont look oem the steamer is what helps take the wrinkles out
