    The JDM Seat install. :lol:

    Well 00galantguy came over to help out with the leather install.

    So everything was going fine with installing the lower part of my seat, got it all wrapped up came out looking good.
    So we move on to the top portion of the back seat, and something didnt look right, the kit that i got is for 97 - 98 and aparently they have a three piece back seat, i have a one piece.

    And here was the fix....











    So we just have to finish stretching them on and this should be legit hahaha.

    Going to cut out a space for my arm rest, and just tell no one to fuck with it. will post pics when we are done.

    Definitely needs more stretching. Both my 97 and 98 had the armrest and fold down backseat.
    7g for life!

    yea it should tighten up some since it is only like 1 degree out side right now lol. But for what we did, hell it dosnt look bad at all to me and its really comfy, cant wait to finish the rest of the car. lol and the guy from ebay needs to send me a headrest cover since one was missing in the kit :(

    reason why u had a solid rear seat is because u have an S, the ES and LS had the middle section fold down from 94-98, only the S and the DE had a solid rear seat

    Stretched out will look good but as of right now, I don't like it. It looks like you just pull it out of the washer and said, screw drying it.

    thats just how the leather is though. it has those waves in it i have no control over that.

    Use a heat gun and stretch at the same time. Don't let the leather be smarter then you. Also make sure and use the rings and metal bars inside to help you stretch it out.
