To post pics, save it to photobucket, and copy and past html, or go to "go advanced" at the bottom, and upload it.

I put autozone seat covers on. I'm not a pro, so its like covering a prize with a blanket.

I re-skinned our Vert seats. It is a job I will never do again, I will pay an upholstery shop to do. They came out great, it just took 3 full days of wrestling with the seats.

Black with red stitching:

We got ours for $120-ish from one of the few times that they actually put them on an auction starting at $99. Then I had to buy matching ebrake and shift boots along with the Momo wheel

Yes, bought the boots from Redline. Not keen on the console cover, bought a brand new center console/armrest/switch plate and buttons from Mazda though. That was stupidly expensive.
