I installed new grips and recovered my seat today

[willoby61726]

The stock grips suck a#$ IMHO so i bought some gel ones of ebay and installed them today. Also I bought some navy blue marine grade vinyl and recovered my black stock seat. I still have the old cover that is in great shape and enough navy vinyl left if someone is intereted in them. Send me a PM if you are and I'll work out a price.

Looks great, how do you like the new grips and does the blue get just as hot in the sun as the black?

I enjoy the grips alot. I just installed them today and just putted around town for a bit, but WOW what a difference so far!! As for the seat, I'm not sure. Havent left it out in the sun for a period of time yet. It doesnt really sit out in the sun much as it is. At home its in my garage and at work i park under a pavillion so the only time it sits in the sun is when i go into a store or something. I recovered the seat just purely for cosmetics. I used to build convertable tops for mitsubishi so im familiar with a staple gun and fabric pulling so that was no problem doing. I have yet to do a mod yet I didnt like.
