I have been wanting to redo my Interior, but the Door Cards and Seats were really showing their AGE... Broken Bolsters, Ripped Material...
So I opted for what I thought was a good deal on Covers, and Cards and that was what they were covers to go over your existing ones.

Ok, I had to Modify my seats so all the recent how-to's, and the covers I chose were a BEAR to get on, they seemed to be short. So I had to Modify and Cut my Original's to hide material that wasn't covered, and well I am mostly pleased.....ok, beats the hell out of the Tired Broken White....

The car is waiting on the new TOP (on-order) and it will probably be a slightly different color, but hey....

From a solid White interior.

So, yes I painted my White Boot cover, and will be color matching the Head liner (a lighter Tan) with the Sun Visors, or I may just
recover those.. Haven't decided on which way to go as the originals are Heat Sealed on the Window side.

I am Kinda Liking the new Color...

The install isn't as easy as you would think, and my how to's on the bolster foam to repair damage may assist you.

I did Trim my original covers on the seat backs to the pivots as the older material could be seen, and I cut all the piping out of the old seats so there wouldn't be any chance of it breaking and poking through the newer material.

Thanks Brian, good tips. The best part is all of the seats are currently out of the car so now would be the time to do it
