I ordered a set of Mesh Grey original type seat covers from TMI a couple months ago and they arrived this week.

They look really nice and I hope to start installing them soon once I get a couple other projects out of the way.

The new Mesh Grey seat back easily slipped over the existing seat covers.
I can slap a little glue on the existing seat covers and then slide the new Mesh Grey covers right over them.
The glue should hold everything in place.

Just kidding about the glue, this is just a test fit to see how they will look.
I plan to remove the existing black material and install the Mesh Grey covers using hog rings and wire/thin metal rods (not just string) to secure everyting.

I hope the Notchback will look as good as the Bug I did from bare frames.
