Default Lethal Interiors A+

Just wanted to put up a quick post recognizing the awesomeness of Princess at Lethal Interiors.

After numerous emails back and forth this fall putting a color scheme and pattern plan together (Princess was always very prompt and friendly), I ordered my seat cover set and just finished up installing them.

I could not be happier! The covers fit better than any other I've put on a vehicle (I've done a number of Katzkins in my line of work) and they look amazing.

Thanks again for not only an excellent product, but for outstanding service as well. You are a rarity in the world today.

I'm not sure we are allowed to discuss prices and such on the open forum. If you want to pm me I will let you know what the final cost was.

No problem showing pics, and talking about your experiences, just please don't post contact info or pricing and it will keep this thread open.

She's very reasonable and there's so much that can be done you have to just contact her and discuss your vision.
You won't be disappointed with her. She's very easy to work with and very patient!
She just rocks!

OP, Do you think a first timer can get the same results? Sounds like you've done this a few times.
Any special tools needed?
I'd like to replace the bottom seat cushion at the same time. Can these be purchased from them also?

Thanks

The front seats and the rear seat back are pretty straight forward. I think the fronts took about 45 - 60 minutes each. The drivers took longer than the passenger because of the powered seat rails. The rear seat back took maybe 20 minutes.
In the spirit of saving time I also use good quality zip ties in place of hog rings. Princess does supply a bag of hog rings if you choose to go that route though.

The real pain was the rear seat bottoms. There was a bit of excess material that caused a lot of wrinkling and just an ill fitting look that I wasn't comfortable with. I spent at least 1 1/2 hours on each one strategically stuffing them with pieces of an old memory foam bed topper. Looking back I probably could have got the same or better results a lot faster by using polyester fiberfill from an old pillow instead. But live and learn...

I'm super happy with the results and the seats feel brand new. My drivers seat bottom was in iffy shape so I found a pretty good passenger seat at the junkyard for $20 and swapped the bottom foams out. The driver and passenger foams are interchangeable but not exactly the same. Very minor trimming is needed.

The material I went with was the Allante Ultra vinyl and red houndstooth. Even though it is not leather it is light years better than the factory material and no one I've shown could tell it was vinyl. It is really high quality stuff.
