Corbeau CR-1 installed (pics)
Looks good man. I just got a good deal on a used set of CR1's myself. Looking forward to getting them in. Good to know that you can order replacement fabric too. Mine look new, but it's handy just in case I decide to change colors or something

Updating this thread, I went black and grey microsuede (grey cloth was on 8 week backorder...WTF) and had a professional custom upholstery shop install the covers (which came with velcro to stick on top of the old covers, and fit like ****, BTW), make custom foam lower back bolsters, and repair the various things wrong with the drivers seat.

Seats are looking good man. I want the same ones for my ride...same color and everything.
I would go with black btw. Looks better than anything else on a pewter car hands down. Red, blue ect are too bright for pewter.

My advice is this:
Buy them new or gently used, IN THE COLOR YOU WANT. The replacement covers that Corbeau sells are bullshit velcro-on things (not actual "factory" replacement covers) which are a PITA to DIY install and have very poor fitment if you do (hence the reason I had an upholstery shop do the install).
How hard was the install? Thread Starter

See below/above:
Looks great. I sat in all the diff corbeau models at a local dealer and picked up a set of LG1s. The CR1s were a close second. Supportive but also pretty comfortable. Mine are at the upholstery shop getting recovered. During the test fit, I know what you mean regarding access to the two back nuts.
