That's even worse than the chaps Sharpie wears!
Yep, mine are stylin' and they make my butt look good.
Seriously though, I find myself very conscious of the bolsters when getting in and out of the car. I scoot forward in the seat before turning my hips and pay attention to how I lift myself out of the car.
Now lets see some pictures of this new leather Sammmmmmmmmm.
^I'll post some up after I get home today.
Pics.
There was a company making bolster covers back in the 90's, but they had stopped selling them when I tried to find a set. I had emailed the company to see if they would sell me the pattern so I could have a set made, but they never replied.
EDIT: here is a thread on the pointy board where I discussed them with others and posted a picture: http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=215935
^Thanks Todd....those are exactly what I was looking for. One of my sister-in-law's is a good seamstress, I'll send her that picture
and ask if she thinks she could copy it.

Holly crap... Am I reading that right? Full leather, OEM style headrest perforation, in a color that matches 93LE, all for under $400 shipped? What exact colors/options did you choose when you ordered?Quote:

Yep, $385 shipped. They did ship from overseas (Pakistan, I think it was), but I'm happy with them and they are all full leather. I ordered red, but the guy recognized it was for a '93LE and shipped me the darker, burgundy color.Quote:

Here's what I ordered:
Leather Colors Option: Red Two Tone Inserts Color Option: none Nova-suede Inserts Color Options: none Embroidery Options: none Embroidery Color Options: none Top Stitching Color Option: none Piping Color Option: none
Wish they made the 95M covers.

Nice try but they're "synthetic" leather. I want my seats to be the result of a bovine butchery. I may contact them and see if they can make them in genuine leather. Sammm, have you received them yet? How is the quality?Quote:

Mine are installed in my car (see pics above somewhere). Happy with them. Leather is soft and they appear to be well made.
Site says they have syn-leather and real leather. I've asked for samples in leather (dark brown, black, and tan) and will report back when I get it.Quote:

Interesting. They said yes and ask for my shipping address.

Great! (Maybe it's just the red?)
ME too! Waiting by the mailbox!Quote:
