Here's the before.. and I thought the back seat was in great shape.
And here's the after...so far anyway. Just got the hawks upholstery kit today. This is what i've had time to do so far. They need to sit in the sun awhile and dewrinkle. But otherwise I'm liking em!
It's the upgraded Hampton vinyl. I got the complete kit. I'll be doing the GTA lumbar seats I have with this too. Get this, I was looking at Hawks, and they actually had the color and style I wanted.. on CLEARANCE!!! Sweetness! Saved me a few $$$ |

Fits good so far. As you can see, I removed the seats from the car, took off the old upholstery and was able to get this far in one night after work. So I wouldnt say its too difficult. The lumbar gta seats are going to be alot harder though. The look to be the hardest one to do. If you have regular seats I don't see much problem.
You can see some wrinkles in the one bottom cushion. I think that side of the seat was tucked into the side of the car and the foam is collapsed a bit. I'm going to stuff some more in there to fill out the vinyl. The backs fit perfect. Vinyl quality is really good. This is their top of the line Hampton vinyl. I don't know what their regular vinyl is like.
Hawks is running some clearance specials right now on interior stuff. They just happened to have the split rear/gta lumbar fronts in medium gray on clearance. Just what I needed. $309 +25 shipping. Took 1 week to arrive. So far I'm very happy.. we'll see what happens after attempting the fronts!  |
