    I had a job lined up that required ordering from them. Kind of glad I passed on the job after hearing that. Customer was incredibly up tight and would not have been ok with any mistakes on my part or theirs.

    Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation!

    Gorgeous for sure! In that second picture, how do you accomplish the grooves? Are those separate pieces that you put through holes cut in the trunk lid?

    I believe it is because they sag over time.

    Actually I think the one with the button has a screw under it now that I think of it. Gently remove the button you push to remove the headrest and the little spring and there is a screw under it. I found out after I broke it lol.

    I have done those same seats. I ended up prying up gently on the posts and got 3 out of 4 off with no trouble. The 4 one broke around the wide part I pried from. I ended up gluing it and the customer said they would leave the headrest down anyway so it worked out. Not the best or most professional but he said it wasn’t worth spending a bunch of money replacing it.

    I was afraid of it not stretching much. I will probably just do embossed leather. Anything special about working with it?
