This is how the leather holds up after more than six years... I think it's not bad.
I only treated it sporadically with Lexol, but not very often.
Wow. High quality materials and workmanship. It hardly looks worn in the photos after all these years.

Thanks for sharing.

By the way, the stock cloth seat covers came off very easily (held in place with just hooks), so now I have the cloth covers in excellent condition too - have to figure out what to do with them.

OK, after this long-winded talk, here are a few pictures about the result:

those seats look great! you got an amazing price and to have it all done in one day is even more amazing. i used to work on private jets redoing interiors and to recover one seat usually took a couple days, course we were also refoaming them also and painting the frames. one refurbished seat would cost somewhere between $5,00-$10,000 depending on the type of seat it was.

im kinda thinking of redoing my interior with leather also but im not liking the whole black on red with my titanium gray 8
