Well, not perfect but better than it was...so, that means it matches the rest of my car perfectly!
Obviously, they'll have to be partially broken down to dye the backs and bottom trim and that's when I'll tighten up the loose edges here and there but overall, I'm happy with it. Some of the lumps and bumps I hope will smooth out over time with use and temp changes.
Now, on to the other one.
Gonna dye the rear seat bottom and back as there are no rips at all in them. Already have the new door panels in the box.

Seat looks very presentable.

Yeah, especially considering what I'll mostly be presenting to it.

Thing is, the slack comes in from the underside, the spring side, because the foam sinks around the springs. Also, I believe the OE covers are heated into a certain shape, after they were sewn. If you look at the covers you can see the 'arch' in them.

One thing you should consider too is adding foam to the underside, and not the top where the cover lays. That way the shape doesn't change. The underlayment is key too.
