I just ordered my complete custom REUPHOLSTERY KIT from JC Witney. I got the Dark Graphite and Dove Gray as my color combo! Go to HERE to check it out! What do you guys think? I was going to get leather but I couldn't bring myself to spend the $300 more for it! Tell me what you think!

Did the same combo for my car. I got leather though from auto-interior.com for about $700. Fits great and looks unbelievable. I will try to post some pics in my profile this weekend.

I am suggesting you cancell the order if you can and get leather ones.

email me for pics if you like

I would get the leather, but its too much money, and I live in a place were it gets really cold in the winter and really hot in the summer, it's never perfect. So, I would be scared about sitting in my car 11 months out of 12, not smart! I am going to take that money to try to get a aftermarket sunroof though I need one!

What about the choice of colors though? my selection was charcoil withdove grey leather inserts. As you can see the charcoil in the end was a much lighter shade than what it looked like in the internet site. if you are trying to get the dark to light grey contrast you should better chose black with dove grey inserts and it will look like this

Autointerior offers simulated leather seat covers at a lower price also. they cost $399 so you would save $100 and you will be getting a product that is proven. check here

Vinyl product

Also you have a choice of getting something in-between were the cover are vinyl but the inserts are made of leather. They cost $685 (including shipping) check this out
vinyl with leather inserts

When i got them a few months back they were about $100 cheaper than now.

No you have to remove the fabric and reinstall the leather ones. They suggest this aswell. The product is very good. Professional installation is advised for maximum effect. Believe me, its worth it. I tried to remove the fabric myself and it took me 3-4 hours to remove the rings that held the fabric on the rear seat. Its an exact fit so there is no room for mistakes.
Its a lot of work and you need special tools for the installation.
For me atleast, it didn't worth it to spent countless hours with the risk damaging the seats.

professional installation is strongly adviced. its an exact fit so you need to remove the fabric. its a lot of work because they need to fit tight. its worth it though.

I have updated my pics in the profile. The new pic i got today looks like this.

What do you think?

That looks fantastic neoklis ! I have a silver coupe and I was really considering getting these covers for them. Especially the combo color you have because your car is silver too. Have you ever spilt anything or torn the material?

No the material is excellent Natalie. But its an exact fit so if you dont have the right tools, the patience and some previous experience i would strongly suggest professional installation. The embroidery was done by the auto-interior and its very good. There are even like 10 different fonts to choose from and the work is absolutely perfect. No imperfections whatsoever and i have to say the service was excellent. I strongly recommend it. BTW the leather used is supposed to be much better than OEM and thats seems to be true. 8 months now and no problems. Even the guy who installed them who is a professional told me that the work and the material was excellent. biggrin.gif

You just have to take off the fabric and put this in its place. You need though special pliers for the "O" rings that held the covers to the seats. (to take off the O rings and then to install the new covers) btw there are plenty of O rings (prolly more than 100) so its a lot of work to take them off and then put them up again. I just paid a professional installer another $100 and that was it. No more trouble.
