Question Seat covers

Anybody have a recommendation for good fitting, good looking and affordable seat covers to cover old, cracked leather seats?

How bad are yours - you can have the redyed (repainted actually) or do it yourself (if you have an airbrush). The results are outstanding

They're pretty bad, beyond airbrushing. South Florida is not a friendly place for 12 year old leather seats.

Looks like JRL's link is not working for some reason. I think this is the one he is trying to post.

No problem man. Sometimes the $$ is easier to come by than the time it takes to hunt for the parts! I'll be happy when I bolt them on

Your car is prewired from what I understand. When you say banged up, is the lens cracked or just dirty?

Do they illuminate?
Look under the kick panel, under the steering column.
Remove the torx screws to get to the relays.
There are maybe 10 or so fuses and relays. You may need a J relay and an LCR (light control relay) jumper relay which i have in my closet. You can have them if you don't already have a set in your car free of charge! lol

Call or email me if you need them.
