More info.

Where did you get them?
How much?
Did they just slip on over the seats or are they actual replacements?

They look good and seem to offer some soft and comfortable padding. I wouldn't expect something like this to be more than $100.

They are real leather custom made seat covers. They are not replacemenets they slip over the seats. They are $250/pair and are very soft and comfy. Good custom made cloth seat covers willl cost about $200 so these Barbari seat covers (barbari) are a good value, IMHO.

Still looks like 'seat covers' to me, ...
In my opinon, it would have been better to find factory stuff & take it to an upholstery shop for rework.

The covers are not the tightest fit but they are comfortable. The cost to recover the seats is prohibative at this time. I could buy new seats for less than it costs to recover the old ones.

For the $200 you paid for the seat covers you could have gotten an entire tan leather driver's seat... Probably both fronts actually... I have two friend's (right there in Florida) who part these cars out and the tan (even leather) is very hard to sell...
