Just replying.
1. yes, there is a bit of bunching on the sides and a small lip where the black and tan meet. The upholsterer told me to park it in the sun and the leather would shrink a bit and tighten up. True or not, too soon to tell.
2. Yes, I paid an upholsterer to do it. Took the seats out and took everything to him. Charged me $60 per seat. Took about 3 days.

So, total cost was $340 for the seats and $120 for install. Way cheaper than the $1700- $2,00 I was being quoted. And do you really want to spend $2,000 on a $10,000 car. Short of a great engine mod, I won't do that.

In sum, I am very pleased with what I got and what I paid for it.
