It took one very large hide to do my 1500. I had the same parts
covered. I also had the backs of the seats covered with the lower quality
parts of the hide ( scars, thin areas, discolered areas ), instead of the
original plastic. If you use 2 small hides, you will have problems with
grain and color matching.
