Hey get your guys to send in some pics of the final job. Once again as you say if it's all mickey mouse i'd love to jump on the next GB

[Darkness_Ryda1]

do the seat covers fade?

[OnAhigh]

received mine today, look good so far, only one thing they forgot to emboss the logo on the back seats, never mind though. Will have a go at installing this weekend and will take some pics. hey zimmi you have any instructions? or anyone have any advice,tips would be great

[Faarooq]

Got mine today too, they do look awesome! Can't wait to fit them.

[Dynamix]

I hope another group buy will happen soon, very keen to get some!

[Faarooq]

These seat covers are pretty damn good. Need to take the seats completely apart to fit them but the effort is worth it.

Thanks Zimmi.

Did you guys push any threads through the seat to get a tight fit, or are the covers just slipped over the seats? I know someone has used spray-on adhesive to install them before, what i'm trying to work out is if they are removable or not.

I used most of the supplied strings through the seats and added some extra ones where it needed it. You can probably get away with just slipping them over because they are very tight fitting, but it wont look as good where the sunken contours are. At least if you use the strings you can always take the covers off later on and return to stock seats. I would not have bought these if they required adhesive.

So the strings go through the seats, or around them? Thanks

poked through the foam and then tied to other strings poked through or to anything else that looks solid at the back of the seat structure.

Thanks for the pic Mark, do you think if you took the covers off, you'd see the holes?

What about on the front seats - i cant see how it'd be possible to thread a hole through the seat - how do they fit?

Depends how and where you poke the string through. Most strings will go through at a seam in the seat so if the string comes out I dont think you will see the hole. I bought a big needle which was about 10cm long and used that to thread the string through. I tried poking the needle through the seat all the way through and out to check if a hole would be noticeable and it wasn't. At times I had to remove the string and the hole was not noticeable at all. The original material seems to be fairly elastic.

As for the front seats, I have a GTR so the original cover on the back of the seat can be unzipped to reveal the backing foam. The new seat covers are similar with zips at the back so you can put the cover over the old seat while still being able to thread the string through from the front. I then poked the string through the front of the seat through to the back and tied the strings together (since there is nothing else to tie them to). I then zipped up the original seat cover which hides the tied up strings then zip up the new cover to hide the old cover.

You dont have to wait for another group buy. The guy sells the stuff on ebay, if you dont want to wait, you can pay a bit more and get it quicker.
