Hugh: You may want to evaluate the foam condition to help determine the extent of the replacement. I don’t think you can make the final decision until you view the degree of mis-match. If not too bad and if the foam is good (unlikely after 50 years) I’d just do the seat panel. If foam and match are both bad, I’d have the seats both done.

From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Hugh Baldus hugh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] Hello all, My 53,000 mile 300K developed a front-to-back seam split in the driver’s seat bottom at the end of the last driving season. I believe it to be the original material (sky blue, correct perf, etc.), and doesn’t appear fixable. My mechanic preemptively ordered a set of front covers from Legendary, who he swears provides the best alternative. I am not at this point obligated to buy them from him. Opinions? Should I do just the driver’s seat bottom, preserving the rest of the kit for when needed, counting on a great match? My reflex would be to do both front seats, even though the passenger side is almost perfect, to avoid a mismatch. Agreed? I would, of course, preserve all materials removed, in any case. I haven’t put an eyeball on the match, since my car is still in storage away from the kit. The car has gone from a show car (11k miles in 31 years to 4k miles in the year I have owned it) to a “go car”, so I expect usage wear to crop up here and there. Totally worth it, in my book.
