Very nice; best wishes on the sale.

I'm sorry to be the one to point this out, but the front seat cushions (and maybe the seat backs) are swapped side for side.

The stripe pattern should start together at the forward edge and move outboard as you move rearward. Similarly the seat back should start wide at the bottom and angle in as you go up. The rear seat pattern should match.

Don't feel bad; normally you would be able to use the rear seat as an example, but one of the aftermarket suppliers made a batch of incorrect rear seat covers and messed a lot of folks up. I had a hard time finding a photo on google which was done correctly.

Correct orientation is shown here:
