thats a good price. I got quoted $2500.00 Australian just for the two front seats. Although I think that was a @#$% of price, because the guy could not be bothered, or thought I was an easy mark for a quick earner.

It was a good price. I had a good chat with the lads down there and we know the company and do there tyres so cant say it would be that for anyone walking in off the street.

I wasnt in a rush too so he could fit it in around other jobs. About 4 weeks it took but as the car is still waiting for its engine now it wasnt a problem :D

Mate they look fantastic!!

Did they dye the back part of the seats the same colour to match?

I'm on the look out for a black interior for my cabby at the moment and the going price seems to be about £500 for a descent set. How much did that set you back coz if its not much more i may saved a little longer and get my beige sets retrimmed in black

Simply stunning 8)

Like Alex said, you can't beat it when the seats look more or less factory finish!

Enjoy!
