Not too shabby! I'm curious to see how the seat turns out.

The seat actually looks better from an angle. A little farther away. I'll have to go shoot another pic in a bit to show you.

Structurally, the repair seems very tough and pretty permanent. Sure beats that rip. (this particular rip was from a passenger I had in the car at 150mph, her *** puckered up and when she tried to get out of the car, she tore the leather)

Yeah the under patch and glue work well. Matching grey was a PITA... It needed some hue work over just the white and black mixed..

Autozone has it. And there are some VERY non-observant people here.

NAPA probably has it also. Get the kit with the little heater thingy.
