Default Rennbay Seat Covers

I though since I am so happy with these, I would let you guys see. The seatcovers were $349 and I got the "Linen" ones. The install was extremely easy. The hardest part was taking the old covers off. I shouted NO cuss words, which is a first for me I only had one scratch and no blood was drawn. I count that as very successful! I have NEVER done any type of upholstry work!

Travis' customer service was outstanding. He's even sending me some matching vinyl for the center console. (Good price on extra vinyl)

When I opened the package, which arrived quite promptly I might add, I thought there was a mistake and I got shipped leather covers. That is how nice this vinyl is. It is soft and very supple, yet amazingly stong.

The fit was very good, with no problems. I only ran into the wrinkles at the top of the bolster, but I have heard they lay flat in about a month. (Not worried, they don't look bad)

So, here are some pictures of the finished product. Any abnormalties are due to my craftsmanship, not the seat covers

Nice. That's on my to-do list...but further on down the road. The car's gotta be dependable before I screw around with upholstry, but those look really great. Good job.

I, too would like to commend Rennbay....I purchased the black German Vinyl ones for my old style sport seats. I NEVER did any uphostery work either and mine came out much better than I had hoped for. A few wrinkles came out with in the first week. Very soft and they could pass for leather....Travis is excellent to talk to......Great guy.....

Very nice. Is there anybody here with seats they used this kit on a long time ago? How do they hold up as time goes on?.. As well as leather?

My driver's seat is starting to show it's age on my 951, although the passenger seat looks good, but this is now going on the project list!

No friends? Why the unused passenger seat?

Hahaha, something like that
Nah, looks like the PO was single, and didn't like people riding in his car. When I bought it, it looked like the seat had never been sat in.
Rather unusual, since in my 86, the passenger seat is more worn out than the driver's seat.
