Looks good but it has always bothered me when the aftermarket leather seat cover doesn't fit tight to the seat. Especially when you spend the money you did.

Its new leather. And it will go through
hot sunny days and cool summer days, expansion and contraction it will be as tight as the factory vinyl/leather. Also you can use steam to tighten it up right away. But i will let it tighten naturally?

You can use a steamer to help the leather lay. Prob some you tube vids on it. That's what we do at work.

Nice! The leather on these cars is really easy to change out.

I bought some OEM leather from the eBay Roush store a few months ago. Took me a few hours to do it all working slowly.

The wrinkles will come out, like the OP said. You can sit in the car with the heat on in the summer for a while too, or use steam as someone mentioned.

Not to post whore but here are my results with OEM leather right after it was put on.

Did you have the base cloth seats originally ?
