New skins for the '95M seats!

They showed up yesterday, so they're not on yet (hopefully this weekend), but I thought I'd post some preliminary pics. I ordered the skins from LeatherSeats.com and they look absolutely top notch. I couldn't wait to get something installed, so I slipped the head rest covers on. They fit perfectly and look nice and snazzy IMO. We'll see how the rest of the install goes. ;)

BTW, the plan is go back to black with the interior. I'll be painting/dyeing my tan door panels black to match... and unless I somehow tear up the old covers in the process of taking them off, I'll post them up for sale later (if anyone's interested).

Here's the old passenger seat:

Looks nice! So the Bride seats will be for track days only?

Either those or some other kind of race seat.

I'm thinking Leather in the winter, Brides in the summer (when it is too hot for leather) and a set of ??? for dedicated track use. ;)

They're starting to look a little more like seats, no?

You painted the plastic parts? What kind of paint is that? By the way, very nice!

Thanks!

I used Duplicolor flat black Vinyl/Fabric paint for the plastic. So far so good...

...and they're done!

I still need to spray the door panels, but I'm too busy admiring my handiwork right now... ::pimp::

That looks luxurious! Good job! I hope it does not get too hot in the sun. If it gets too hot for you, will I get the first dip! :-)

Looks great man! Luxurious indeed!

Was your carpet always black or did you dye it or find a black carpet set?

I've always had black carpet... it just didn't always match the drapes, as they say.

Just in case you notice scratches in the paint on the side pieces showing the Tan under, the side plastic parts are the same for the 95M as they are on the plain cloth 90-97 seats. I found out when I had my set of 95M seats recovered. I got them for like $50 at the wrecking yard cause the leather was so shot. But what the heck, they are comfy.

Great looking.
