I would have to agree :lol:

Edit
Also, all I've gotten done to my car is made 4 gaskets -_-
So unfair :p
 
in your experience, do they firm up? (meaning become tighter)

It took me 10-hours and 400 C-Clips/gorilla clips to put in the retrims I bought for my seats... I agree lots of time to do your self, but great to save the coin for something that is fairly simple to do...

Noting I did not sew mine together, but I assume that would double the time!
 
... its anything but easy...
Its stupidly hard. thats why it cost so much and no one does it.

I made mine the right size, so all I had to do was heat it, put it on and let it rest, fits snug and wont tighten because i never stretched the material in the first place.
 
mate, turned out awesome
and imho, its much more awesome when you do it yourself, anyone can buy stuff, but not everyone can make it ;)
 
well, having the skill and equipment must save heaps.

But, at $595 for bonded leather; including all seats, five headrests, door skin material and console lid(and about 10-hours to install myself), I am not displeased with retrim kits in general.
 
yeh well the vinyl alone probably cost me around $200 all up? not sure yet. i just like that it was cheaper and the colours exactly how i wanted them, he did a good job :)

Mine was somewhat puckered to begin with, but it did finally settle down after being sat in a few times...

Hope all goes well for the remainder of yours! I like your pattern, looks remarkably like mine, but we like different colours!
