New Custom Leather seats installed and tinted tails *PICS*

Hey all!
Another weekend, another mod for the Max.
Last week I installed my DDE's and tinted my tails and sidemarkers.
I however didn't get any good pics of the tails so I've included them with these.
I bought custom two-tone leather seats from leatherseats.com back in december with the group deal. They are heated and the switches fit just about perfect in the factory slots and last night on the way home it was a bit chilly and I used them and they work quite well. Anyway, enough blabbing here are the before and after pics.
Before.......

After..........


Tinted Tails......

Please excuse the obnoxiously large muff. It will be properly disposed of soon enough.

Since EVERYBODY is asking and Jason doesn't seem to be available right now, I'll fill you all in:

He got the leather in a GD from www.leatherseats.com. IIRC, he got the seat covers (two-tone with perforated inserts and maxima emblem), the door panels, and the seat heater package for the front seats (elements and switches) for ~$850. Also, I believe he paid just around $300 for installation.

And it is not a molded dash kit.


Sorry, Jason, I had to interject myself here.

NP Brian. Some of us work and don't have an office job.
Yes, its all like he said. GD from leatherseats.com back in december. $850 or so total shipped with heated two tone front seats and two tone in the back. It included the switches that fit almost perfect in the factory location. The colors charcoal and "putty" as they call it match my charcoal and tan interior PERFECT.
I am extremely happy. The kit on the dash is the aluminum kit that alot of people sell. The heaters in the seats work really well. I used them this morning on the way to work while it was 40 degrees out.

The interior is so sweet man. You must love the new leather scent!

BTW, the muffler looks a bit big and out of place.

Yes, I love the new leather smell. It makes the car seem brand new inside.
A nice present for a car I've had for 23 1/2 months.
Hence this quote....Please excuse the obnoxiously large muff. It will be properly disposed of soon enough.

Wow your interior is sweet!

By any chance, do you know what the approximate price is for just the leather seat covers by themselves?
