Do a search of my posts. If there's a topic regarding audio in 2010+, I've probably posted in it!

Saddle is ok but, the Sunset Gold is really nice looking. If I ever painted my car, I'd like that sunset gold or performance white.

Thanks looks great ... I can't believe no tire company has started making low profile white letter tires now that Mustangs, Challengers and Camaro's have all gone retro ....

The old 15" wheels and meaty white letter tires look way better than the 19s and 20s that are popular now. It's too bad that no company makes a decent performance tire in 255/60 R15.

I personally would have chosen black/charcoal leather, but the color you choose would probably be my 2nd choice!

They are no looser or tighter than the black leather that I removed.

If you look at the pics with just the foam ... the air bag side of the seat is significantly different than the non-airbag side ...

Dan looks great man if you don't mind me asking how long did it take you guys to do the swap and does it require any re stitching of the leather? I'm curious because I actually want to get a set of takeoff stone or maybe saddle leather seat covers for my perf pack car when it gets in. Thanks man and we're going to have to catch up sometime so I can admire all your hardwork in person

Took approximately 8 hours total. If you can find a car with same seats as yours ( with or without heat) you can just swap entire seat. That should take 90 minutes total.

To swap upholstery only thing special is hog rings and hog ring pliers. And lots of patience.
