Seat covers - feedback please. My leather seatcovers are pretty much garbage. Who sells the front covers only ?? I've seen real leather sets on Fleebay for $650 (all seats incl. shipping), Ecklers for example sells velour for a 93-96 model for $440... not sure if those fit a '99....
Anyways.... anybody bought leather or velour seat covers ? How is the fit, do they last, is it really leather or some junk vinyl .... ???...
Don't post about slip over covers... I already found out that those don't fit....

Looking at the photos on fleebay I like these leather seat covers more and more.... before I spend $650 I'd really like to hear from others who bought these...
The Ebay seller is leatherseats.com, anybody bought from them ?
What can I expect to pay at a upholstery shop to get the two front seats done in tan leather ??

My buddy bought Katzkins (?) and they turned out sweet, excellent fit & finish. For the money though, I'd just get a new set of seats with better support & shape. Do a search.

shudog,
Thanks, the Katzkins are top of the line stuff.... just called a local upholstery today, they're $1275 installed - that's way more than I'm willing to spend.

You can do the install yourself, nothing too special required, just some elbow grease. Do it outside on a hot day with the covers laying out and you'll get it done. Call back and see what the price is for the covers only.

I pulled the trigger last night, ordered the $650 covers off Fleebay and will install myself. I emailed two guys who bought these covers (recent customers off their feedback list) and both are still happy 2-3 months after the purchase....
I'll report here when I installed the covers, should take around 2-3 weeks to get them....
