Looks good.Did the seats fabric get any rougher or did they stay the same I know sometimes the interior paints will make the fabric feel very rough.

I don't know. I like them a lot after sitting in one.

And I'm not sure if they have red, I can't remember.

The fabric is a bit rougher, you can't feel it through your clothes. But after time it will loosen up. I always read about using a brush to make it soft again... not like the evo VIII seats were ever soft to begin with lol.

I did this to my s14 seats back when I had my sr swapped s13 coupe. It worked great, and didn't bleed like people think (I did this over the summer, near the coast where it is hottest and had no issues). The seats looked MUCH better, and it was very simple. I've thought of doing it to the evo...this may have given me the inspiration i needed!

Holy crap, haha. That doesn't look bad.
Reminds me of the IX seats, but NOT leather, hahaha!

Looks good overall though.
