Re: Leather Seat Covers Installed... 56K beware!

These go over your existing OEM skins? Interesting.....very interesting.

Did you do these yourself? BTW our oem skins suck....especially 98-02. You literally have to stay on top of them with conditioner in hand in order to take care of them. This looks to be like a nice alternative to having to condition your seats a million and a half times. Your originals, though worn, did not look bad, or at least as bad as I've seen some cases.

Nice, good luck.

Re: Leather Seat Covers Installed... 56K beware!

The OEM skins were just tired after 116K. I installed them myself (very easy) and they are very soft and comfortable. The cost to reskin the front bucket was prohibitively expensive ($300) for just one seat so I searched out some good seat covers. These were the beast quality at a reasonable price I could find.

Those look pretty good. The only part I don't care for is how the bottom doesn't tuck under, like in the last pic. If those could made it look like OEM it could be a steal all depending on the price.

Nice job

Wow! Those are great! Where did you get them? How much? I want some leather seats in my 97 (currently have cloth), but it's so expensive to get them either recovered, or even to just swap in a set from another car. Can you get rears as well?
