Finally started getting my new seat covers on.
Before:   During:    Phase 1 complete (that's all for today):   Thanks to Norberto and the sticky in this forum for giving me the courage to try this myself.

looks good! everyone says that they are a bad fit but i looks really good to me.
Has anyone heard that you might get a tighter fit if you heat them up? A little bit tighter and I would def. by a set even with the pricey shipping...

They do look a little loose in the pictures, but they are pretty tight. I figure they're going to get baked sitting in the 99 degree temps we'll have today, and maybe they'll tighten up even more. If not, the rears especially are pretty easy to remove and try to adjust. -------------------- |

But yeah, the heat will probably tighten it a little bit more, just curious how it will behave when heated up...

I can imagine your reaction!
