what a dman rip.... if installation was free id do it but free id do it

[ReodDai]

hmm i've installed seats before its just time consuming.. rather do it myself

[mcG]

where you gettin it done at?

[RedAudiomobile]

its on main street going towards moorestown, its across from the Manhattan Bagel.

I got an installation kit with a video on how to do it. I wasnt worried about the time consumption, I just wanted it to look perfect. And this guy knows what he is doing.

I have seen other people not have these seats professionally installed, and they didn't come out that good.

the seat install is not that hard. that 400 bucks could have gone to a more usefull mod, like a TC or suspension mods. the only thing I would pay to get done though is door panels, those are a pain in the ***.

[WickEdSix9838]

it takes probably 45 minutes to an hour to take the seats out and put them back in and ur payin 400 bux for it???? what else are they doin to them?

[RedAudiomobile]

These are not new seats, they are covers. The old cloth covers had to be removed from the front and back seats, and well as the door panels.

It took a professional shop who is a dealer of Katzkin 8 hours to do the entire thing. I just got the car back and the seat covers are secure and tight all the way around.

I have seen plenty(not all!) people do it themselves, and it looks sloppy, and loose, and you can tell they did it themselves. I did not want that.

I could have a torque converter, and sloppy seats, or seats that were professionally installed, and look better than factory leather.

I will have pics up shortly.

Hey Red, man take it easy, its just other peoples opinions. Dont let some remarks ruin your view of the site. Who cares if someone doesnt think its worth it. If you are happy with it cool. I wouldnt let other people here get the best of ya.

I personally like the seats alot.

Thanks man, I know its just peoples opinions, but the amount of negativity on this board is amazing. Just getting the frustration out

Redauto, dont listen to these people, I dont ;)

Seats look bad azz [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I would have taken them somewhere to be installed too so for the simple fact i wouldnt want to mess up my $600 seats. Dont let people get to you so much, you dont get anywhere that way.

I usually dont let other people get to me, but in the recent past I have actually done things to try to further this V-6 community, and I wonder why because everyone is so pessimistic.

Seats look aweseome though, so I am happy
