I know that I am kinda resurrecting an old thread, but anyway... I bought Thommo's set of seat covers (he sold his car after he had ordered the covers) on Saturday and put them in yesterday and today. I must say they look awesome!

I used a Crochet Hook that i ground a sharp point onto the normally blunt end to poke through the seats for the white strings, and pulled all of the seats out to do them.

I got a piece of copper plumbing pipe and ground a sharp edge onto one end and used it as a wad-punch to make the holes for the headrest-legs and for the lumbar-support knob.

Here are a few pics of the final job... sorry about the quality, i really need to get myself a digital camera, the one on my phone really sucks! :P

sorry mate I have taken the rear seat covers off, but never got around to sending them to Ultimate for them to make my new ones ... I will do this in the new year, then they will have the template.

Cheers mate, ur a champion.

So are u going to send the door trims as-well?

no worries .... nah they don't actually make door trims for you - they just send you a big piece of whatever colour leatherette you want, and you have to glue/staple them on yourself

    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.   
    • Hi. Yeah i think that DIS-008 should be ok too but i rather asked. The R8 coils are "sadly" no go for me cuz every solution is for forward plenum. The coils are too tall and one of the(4/5 DK) would not fit under stock J-pipe. And being this NA RB20 i dont even know where to get some forward plenum.(and of course i would need other stuff like custom AFM/ECU etc) and that is kinda non sense for NA without boost. I just looking for solutions for my case 🙂  I try look into those Yaris/Corolla ones.  
    • Damn it, no, I topped up before I got to yours I really should look at Costco locations more when I'm out and about burning through fuel
    • Did you hit the one 5 minutes down the road from my place before heading back south? 😛
    • Costco uses Mobile as a supplier, I always get Costco 98 when I'm near one, they are typically about 30 cents or more cheaper than the local Mobile
