    Here are my new seats covers from GAHH, and the matching shift boot that the local installer made to match. The e-brake boot was previously purchased from Redline.

    How did you come about the extended wood? Nice interior!

    Nice covers -- did you add new padding or did it come with the covers?

    Years ago -- some of you oldtimers may remember -- there was a CSi that was wrecked when the owner's 16 year old son took the car and his girlfriend out for a joyride, and he got t-boned. It had the birds-eye maple trim instead of the yew wood. Brett Anderson acquired the interior, and I bought the driver's side trim from him for a decent price (less than $100, IIRC). The passenger side trim was destroyed in the wreck, so I bought the pieces for that side from the dealer. Those cost a fair bit more. LOL.

    The GAHH covers come with padding for the bolsters, but the original seat and seatback padding was reused.

    Nice work.
    May I ask what the $ setback was?

    It cost me $3300, which was almost exactly half for the new leather and half for the labor.

    They’re holding up great. I do have to point out that I’ve only driven the car about 3500 miles in the past year, but the seat covers still look like new. I was talking about the seat covers with another eight owner at sharkfest, and he took a look at them and commented on how good they look, and how well they matched the backseat, which was not re-covered because they still looked like new.
