    I remember looking at some install pdf a long time ago from katzkins that showed them stuffing some poly fill in the door panels for the gathered leather look. Since it looks like you have enough leather is that maybe what you're supposed to do?

          don't rub it in, lol. did you do a seat swap or did you take the leather from a 97 and wrap it on 90-93 seats? i would assume you did a seat swap, but them i wondered about the door panels.

          p.s. is it me or did my pictures shrink? later.

              yeah pix are smalll. haha nah i did a direct seat swap. everything is plug and play. i found the door pannels out the junkyard just randomly one day they had a cb7 in the junkyard with grey leather( i jacked his dash and carpet too ^_^ turned out real nicely and i got the stock floor mats from the 5th gen accord.

              im not trying to rub anything in at all hehe. u get what u pay for and u got a good quality product and u did the labor urself. u got ballz and skills for that. im glad it turned out so nicely. i really like it ^_^ the only real work i did on mine was regluing some of the leather back on the door pannels and laying the leather on my whole back dash.

                      a little advice....to get the wrinkles out, use a heat gun(looks like a hair dryer) and go over it several times, thus making the fabric "shrink" and fit nice and snug

                      also you stated you got this fron Katzkin...something you might have wanted to do right after you got it was go over and re-sow it, because this goes through an assembly line one person sows one part, the other person sows another part, and so on and so fourth, so re-sowing it would make it last even longer.

                      p.s. i like the aluminum bar under the seat idea =]

                          not sure what rod you are talking about.

                          the lower cushion is bolted to the rails. later.

                            I got most of the seat cover was off until I came in contact with the seams from the front seat...I couldn't figure out how to remove it without damaging the loop it was going through
                            thanks

                              Great write up. It's really not a hard job to do. Just take your time.

                              For 4 years I used to build seats for Chrysler and Honda, so I'm very anal when it comes to my interiors.
