Just Got New Seats. Who does good leather work in So. Cal.? Ok so I am almost done with installing my 2005 GTO seats in my T/A. I got a really good deal on them because they are blue and I was wanting to see if I could get them redone in the Dark Pewter like the rest of the car. Does anyone have a good shop they could recommend. Thanks.

I lost about 1/2 and inch or less. I did not use the factory mouting brackes on the seats, instead fab'd up some new ones out of angle iron and straight steel stock, this allowed me to use the factory mounting points in the car and it lowered the rear of the seat about 2". so the end result was not that much total loss. The seats do have much taller backs and the headrests are up in the pics making it look like it lost head room. I am 6'3" and I still sit in the car well.

No, but really easy to rewire. The seats use a regular type spade connector so I cut off the cars factory connector and put on a female spade connector. There is some extra wires that you do not need cause my car does not have side airbags.

Do they just replace the piece or the whole bottom seat cover?
