That looks great!!
How's the seat height with the front RS seats, and how are the gaps with the rears.
I have a torn front seat, and I need to replace them sometime.
Also how much work went into the door cards?

Thanks man! The door cards were the hardest part. The doors had to be totally dis-assembled, stripped of their cards, and prepped. Then you have to go back through with spray adhesive and attach the new fabric to the existing material on the card itself.
The height was the same as the stock seats pulled all the way up in my opinion. They are sooooo much more supportive! The rears fit perfectly everywhere, but not quite 100% perfect at the bottom becasue mine are out of a coupe.
Otherwise, can't complain!

Cool!
What kind of paint did you use?
Did you remove the dash?

Yep, the whole interior had to be removed. I used VHT's vinyl dye for the dash and door panels, and another company called Plasticoat for the trim. Very good quality stuff!

Where did you get the dye none of the local auto shops have dye all they have is paint.

Anybody carry VHT products near you? You could probably order it online from VHT. It is called satin black vinyl dye.

An auto body supplier should have it.

looks good... Do you have to have a airbag in that steering wheel in order to get the cover to stay on?

^^ Nope, just has two #10's that hold the cover on. We were still able to keep the horns and cruise control with this setup too.

How many cans of the dye did you have to buy? did you get the prep stuff too or just the dye?

I had to get some vinyl prep. I forget the name of the brand. It was around $14 per can. I think the whole carpet, dash, and door panels took 6 cans of dye.
