The work looks great but I am curious about some of pictures. The first and the last few seem to be the interiors of a sedan (Rapid?) and not a crossover Kushaq. Anyway, the seats look beautifully done.

Thanks for sharing. I presume your car has seat air bags. How was the installation managed and any concerns on deployment of airbags?

My Kushaq car does not have seat air bags, but Imperial Leathers can make seat covers for cars that have ventilated seats or seat air bags as I know. Please check with the Imperial Leathers directly.

On a personal note, my other car has ventilated seats and I will not be changing the seat covers for those as I do not want to tamper with warranty, etc! Hope this helps.

I got in touch with Shiva for the seat cover for my 5th gen Honda City. He says he can make airbag compatible seat covers, but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm? How he does it?

From what I remember, he offers two options:
1. Open slot in the seat cover sides for the airbag. This also shows the underneath seat cover fabric. This looks hideous but is the most effective and safe IMHO.
2. Single/ loose stitching in the seat cover sides similar to the OEMs. This is supposed to break open during the seat airbag deployment.

When I met him a year back, he was confident of the seat cover not causing any airbag malfunction and that he has installed this in many cars and has not faced any issues. You can perhaps check with him on how it works.

I am still on the fence and do have this concern as well, hence have still not gone for the seat covers for my car.
