| WHOO HOO i finally got my leather out of a v8 limited. Its all in and looks great just one thing though the plug on the drives seat are differant so i cut the plug of and joind the maching colors, It does work but only when the cars turned off i think i might have to do trial and error as theres alot of wires coming out of the seat. heres some pics of my phone

| Kevin, There are two recent threads about the wiring of V8 leather seats into a GT. Do a search and you will find the answer there. Extremely good buying. The seats are usualy upward of $800. |

| Adrain not sure about prices but could recovering standards seats possible have been a cheaper option? or maybe abit more expensive but they would have been brand new leather hm... |

| Matthew it was $2000 to get them done. so i though 900 wasnt to bad for second hand ones. i also dont have to give my car to anyone for 2 weeks to do them. |

| They normally go for around $800 in Australia so $650 is not bad at all. |
