Very nice! Please post more pics when you can. Does the seat have seat heater?

Very nice. Are you installing the covers yourself?

What would you think of combing some silver or gray panels in the seats?

Silver inserts would look nice as well, but i perfer all black. I am not doing the work myself. It is done by a leather installer. also yes the seats have heaters in them. I am going to have the dash and doors covered in black leather as well.

Those are going to be gorgeous when finished. Did you say they were about the same cost as used Porsche seats??? Based on the way they look in progress, I'd say that's a good deal. Have you sat in any with that design? How comfortable are they?

Yes the cost is very reasonable. I added a few things, so the cost is a little more, but used seats cost about 1500$ and the leather still is crappy. I wish you guys could feel this leather, super high quaility, FULL leather redo, is less than used seats.

Contact Paul Champagne for costs. I just cant say enough about the quality.

James, you forgot to tell everyone you're driving around in my crappy old passenger seat bolted into your driver's seat area!

Boy am I glad to get that seat out of my garage

I cannot wait to see your car fully leather-clad with the doors and dash done too.

You are living my dream. One day, I'll get the entire interior done by your guy when the car is being totally torn down for repainting.
