    just need some attaboy's :rolleyes:

    Bucket seats done ..came out good for a 1st timer ,the backs gave me a hard time.
    Need new headrests . And kudos to the guys that do this for a living ...I couldn't do this
    day in and day out .



    Now I understand why they want big money for complete sets done up new ,by the time your
    done with all the hardware and all around cosmetics it adds up fa$t

    Now time to start the rear seat

    Are these covers from Legendery?
    if so, check for a gathering seam on the material that connects the seat (base) cover to the filler piece that folds over the base. If there is a seam middle across on that filler that is folded underneath to tighten the cover, consider removing that stitching to give u extra relieve to reduce stretching of the cover when u sit on the seat. this will avoid splitting the seams. I found out the hard way and had to make repair. Actually had that material replaced with a larger piece.

    yep Legendary ...I dont recall any seam in the middle of the front flap or rear flap of seat bottom, but will check when I get home

    The bottom seat seems to be fine no issues ....i had a very hard time with the seat back very tight on the top section was just prepared for it to rip at the seams even after steaming it
