Sweet,
I have ordered these direct from Kaege and they should be with me by end of February. Are you happy with the fit? Did you need to use any thing to fix them into place. Any installation info you can share would be appreciated
Cheers,
Denso

If you can somehow make it like the one EAS has I think it would be better. Where it just cups in, but wow it looks amazing!!! I maybe at the event this weekend so I would love to see it in person!!

Merli · 02-06-2015, 04:55 AM

Doesn't look like fitment is very good.

I wouldn't be happy with sticking those onto my seats, sorry...

patience is a virtue lol

it was just done today, I haven't had the chance to install it on the back covers yet, I just put on top of it and took some pics.
1st I well re install the covers by them self so there is no missing around with cf parts, then when everything is in place I well use some 3m tape to install the covers tomorrow. by then I well take also pics of the back side of the covers.

nbennettksu · 02-06-2015, 06:31 AM

it definitely looks bad ass

M2wolf · 02-06-2015, 07:24 AM

Is it straight forward process to remove the panels? as I'm thinking of respraying from black to Yas Marina Blue.

Thanks

That would be interesting to see!

DINMANN · 02-06-2015, 08:12 AM

yes very easy, just start pulling on the lower corner after removing the 2 little plastic clips for better word that go in to the seats.
the leather is turn in to the back trim with a plastic lip on it once in place it stay there, so if u pull enough it well come lose.
I well take pics for u guys tomorrow. im at work right now for 2more hours. then I get to sleep for 4-5 hours then I can play with my car lol
so sorry for making u all wait, I work nights.

catch · 02-06-2015, 08:53 AM

looks great! these really finish the interior off nicely!

If the price was lower Id be interested in a set. I don't even care for the rear seat ones, but the front seat ones are beautiful!

trust me if I say u need the rear smaller parts also, that's what well make the car pop from far away, that well be the 1st thing people see about 20ft away when they walk up to the car from the back or rear sides.
1 more hour then im done at work, so damn tired but cant wait to get this done lol

GOLFFRR · 02-06-2015, 09:04 AM

I would agree completely, except I tint dark enough that no one knows I have colored leather even... No one would ever see those, even up close

oh I see, i haven't tint my car yet, need to do lots of stuff inside and outside.
what tint did u use, and how dark did u go? if u don't mind me asking.
I well get Huper Optik Ceramic from STM aka HAN, he done all my cars in the pass, great guy and great film, I well also do the front window in clear, it just make everything damn beautiful to look at, and stops all the heat to get in.

I'm not sure the brand of tint used, my shop gives a lifetime guarantee so no worries

I typically go 5% all around an 50% on the windshield. Heres a link to my S4 The M3 will likely get the same treatment

Powerbeast · 02-06-2015, 11:34 AM

Looks great!

my335i · 02-06-2015, 01:45 PM

looks nice and can't wait for the final pics...

That's sick!!

DINMANN · 02-07-2015, 03:05 AM

sorry all took some time to get it all done for the big meet here in LA tomorrow.
I took lots of pics for people who want to remove the seat covers, I hope this well help. also some pics of the parts installed.

the leather kind of twist on to the seat covers, so all u need is a small tool to push the corners back in.

I also put on a cover for the cf so my little one don't mess with it to much. I hope
