Did you reuse the bull rings? How did you attach the fabric? Looks real good! few more and you'll be golden!

That's pretty good for a first try especially if you've not done any before well done.

What needles did you use as I'm planning on doing my front seats and wanna make sure I get the right tools for the job before I start

this is a very good job for never doing this before nor having experience with sewing before. Props to you for giving it a shot and sticking with it. :)
