    Lookin good mate. Is that as tight as you could get them though? Look a bit loose and wrinkly. The suede came up great! Good work!

    no they're not glad you pointed that out, this morning I fixed that up because I had forgotten to hook the bottom part of the covers onto the small hooks that are on the sides of the seats. Its pulled nice and tight now :)

    Oh good to hear... Nothing worse than loose fitting leather. Doesnt matter what quality, it always looks cheap. Did you use foam to fill and buff the seats up? I would think the covers would already come with it no?

    I'm not a big fan of suede, but this looks really nice! Especially with the leather seats.
    If I wasn't selling mine, I would be right onto this. I retrimmed the vinyl on my targas a few weeks back, and it makes a HUGE difference! If anyone's thinking of doing DIY retrim, it really is quite simple, you just have to have patience. I found it was really easy to use a spray on adhesive. I grabbed K&H contact adhesive from work (repco), and it worked really well.
    We found "vinyl backed suede" at textile traders. I think it's something like $14 a metre, buy 2 metres get one free. It's great and you can use either the vinyl, or the suede and both stick very well :) and with the vinyl on one side it stops the glue from seeping through onto the suede!

    well done dude it looks sweet as!
