Is that the full leather kit? or is it the vinyl/ leather? I can't decide if I should spend the extra $85.00 on the all leather. How is the quality of the material? Thanks, looks great!

"ALL" leather means all leather seating, that won't include sides and backs. The extra 85 doesn't get you too much more leather

I got the leather/vinyl kit. The vinyl looks pretty much identical to the real leather so I'm happy with it...

So I really should not waste my money on the all leather? It comes with door inserts right? Are those leather or vinyl?

OK well I got the upper and lower rear seats installed. The lower cover fit perfct, nice and snug, looks great! The upper I am a little disappointed with. Above the armrest has some slack and so do the upper corners near the C-pillars. I tried everything to fix these areas, but since every other part on the seat fit perfect, the baggy areas wouldn't flatten out.
Another problem I have is that I only have 6 hog rings left

I still have to do the driver's and passenger's seats and 6 hog rings will not cut it, they definitely did not send me the correct amount

I put the rear seats in the car and they look great, the loose parts aren't too obvious but they are still there. I'm going to try and find a fabric or upolstery shop that sells the rings. Fingers crossed!!! If I can get more, I'll finish the install by tonight for sure. Otherwise who knows....

God I love nice people!!!

I called a local auto upholstery shop and asked if they had hog rings. The guy said yes but they were closing in 5 minutes and I'd never get there in time so he left a bag of ~150 hog rings in a bag outside the door for free!!!!!

Talk about a nice guy huh?!?!?!

Finishing the install of the front seat covers today and tonight

I had plenty hog rings left over when I did my seats. Made me feel like I didn't use enough. I guess leathertseats.com aren't stingy with theirs.
