Can you provide more details on the "seats by stitches"? Did you find original seat covers somewhere, or are those custom? How about seat foams? My drivers seat is in horrible shape, and I've been unable to find another set of charcoal seats anywhere. I'd really like to find the original seat covers and have both front seats rebuilt.

Thanks

Do you know if he/they sourced new stock leather seat covers from somewhere, or did the stitches shop custom build a set for him? Thanks.

Thanks. There is a local shop to me that did some work on one of my other cars, and I've been thinking about contacting them for exactly what your shop did.

Great job that you've done with your car.
