Your back seats are in crazy good condition. Howd you get them like that? Mine are all cracked to previous owner and South Carolina heat.

Dirty is not the problem. I always clean them to remove any previous leather/vinyl protectant, clean them again with a leather specific product and treat them before I ship with a leather conditioner. Most of these that I see that leather has been sun baked to the point it starts to deteriorate not unlike the tops of the steering wheels. Once in a blue moon I find a Dove car that has rear tint and the head rests are in good shape... like the ones for Dan. All colors seem to suffer the same fate, but the tans are more abundant, therefore more to choose from and the black cars typically have tint because the interiors get so freaking hot that a lot of people would tint the windows.

I'm always on the lookout for headrests, so I will post as soon as I find more.

Price depends on what I have to pay for them. I typically get about $70 shipped, with all trim and hardware. I notice that the yards are very inconsistent on their pricing, and a lot of that depends on the people that are cashiering.

thanks for the compliments, its a work in progress, lots of work but the progress makes it well worth it. soon it'll be like it should be.

the seat back is in good condition, all i've done is cleaned it with leather cleaner/conditioner, the bottom is all discolored and i'm on the hunt for a replacement thats better. and the tinted windows help.

i think louie answered the rest of the questions pretty well haha. if i find any they will be up here for sale as well, i just never get lucky enough to find a dove interior e32...or e34 with what i need for that matter, i've found 2 that i can think of, the front seats from one are now in my car haha.

I'm curious Louie, what do you use to clean/treat the dove leather? My driver seat is dirty and blemished, but the leather is in great shape.

By the way, who's that girl in your avatar? wow.

[LouieD]

I'm currently using products from Blue Magic, but there are many other brands out there. I have found that the best thing to do is to de-grease, in other words get all of the previously used products off the leather, because if you don't you just build upon the the dirt and contaminants that are already on the surface. I used dish washing soap and a soft sponge as the initial cleaning, then I clean with a leather specific cleaner, and follow it up with several applications on the conditioner always with a clean white cloth. It won't perform miracles, but it will clean good leather.
Sorry I don't know the girls name, but yeah she's stunning and has a front bumper like a '55 Buick.
