    I used Houston’s seat covers a few months ago. It’s hardly noticeable, but the color of the leather seems slightly warmer than the center console. Almost as if a single drop of red got mixed into the dye. Otherwise, looks and feels great.

    Thank you for sharing your picture! It looks like they fixed the issue with the headrest neck. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on these now.

    Could also be a the center console has aged? I noticed that too when I was helping a friend with his seats. Well at least that's what we thought. I will say though your seats look great.

    I ended up going with the Original Material seat covers from DeLoreanGo. They arrived yesterday and are beautiful (and quite fragrant). I removed the seats from the car and just need to work out getting them installed. I'll post pictures of the finished product. Thank y'all for all the responses!

    I've replaced seat covers before before but I am going to have a professional do it this time. Since I paid extra for the DeLoreanGo seat covers I figured it makes sense to go ahead and spend extra money to make sure they are really fitted properly too.

    Quotes to get the seats recovered here in Austin ended up being far more expensive than I anticipated and shops were on weeks to months long delays. So I found an upholstery shop in San Marcos about 30 miles south of Austin and they were able to do the job in a day and for significantly less. The installation isn't 100% perfect, but I'm extremely pleased with how everything turned out. It's amazing how the seat covers have transformed the entire car. I'm also surprised how supple the stock leather is when "new." Next on the list is to get the steering wheel recovered. I'm so pleased with DeLoreanGo for my seat covers that I'll be using them for the steering wheel, too.

    Can you tell us how much you paid? I just picked up finally some black ones, and although I could probably make a half-assed attempt, I'm not sure I want to. I have a local guy here who did a great job with repair a while back with redoing a seam in one seat and refitting it,
    etc. I think that was $120. My expectation is that it's going to be $300-$400 to refit both seats.

    Going in I was thinking $300-$400 as well and was in for some serious sticker shock. Every place I called in Austin wanted $900-$1,000 labor for both seats. I ended up paying $650.
