the covers have about a half an inch of padding underneath so it makes it look kinda puffy but comfortable

IMO- go have it re-done, It should be a lot tighter- a process that is tough without proper tools.

Sorry- but I had to be honest- the looseness makes that look very cheap and also just like pep-boys seat covers. You will be much happier if you have it done right.

well it was either doing it myself or paying a certified cst installer $400 bucks to do it, i chose to do it myself and the outcome isn't so bad, its actually pretty good for my first time ever doing this

maybe when i get some money in the future I'll have them redone

If you read one of his posts.. He said it would have been 400$ to get installed.

I think 400$ is a lot of money..

leather is nicer

but when it comes down to day to day

leathers too hot in summer and too cold in winter.

Im more concerend about how damn uncomfortable our seats or rather then the fact there cloth
