Very nice, although not noticeably better than my lseats. The draw-string sounds like a good idea... getting that c-channel on was one of the biggest challenges of the install.

Amen. It was a PIA with the Lseat and with the factory-leather driver's seat I found on eBay. With the latter I had to remove the leather on the seat bottom and back to install heat pads. The c-channel fought me when I replaced the bottom's leather, although it was probably due mostly to the additional thickness of the heat pad.

Some sun exposure will no doubt tighten up the leather on amagalla's seats.

They look nice. I’m about to get mine recovered. We have a local trim shop that does great work and when I took the car to him for a quote he gave me $850 to do both seats, 2-tone leather with Porsche logo (although the wife prefers not having the logo on the headrests, and she usually wins). $750 without the logo.

Tennessee must have some spectacular deals. An upholstery shop here in Oregon quoted me $900 merely to install covers from lseat.com.
