Replacement Seat opinions

I've decided that I want some new seats for my vert since the stock leather ones look cheesy. Im looking at 6LE's seats since they look freaking awesome and are very cost effective. My dilemma is do I go for synthetic leather since its a convertible and will see lots of sun? Or do I pop for the real leather? It IS a DD except in the winter so Id like it to look as nice as possible and be comfy as well.

Thoughts?

Subscribed. I hate my seats in the T/A. I wish I could stick some GTO seats in there. What are these 6LE seats your talking about?

They look nice but I was hoping for something wider and softer to fit my expanding **** and achy back

If I read the site right it is only a $150 more for leather which is worth it in my opinion for the smell alone.

Ive always been slim and I always have the side bolsters at max in the stock seats. I just hate the way they look.

Im definitely leaning towards real leather w/ red stitching. Im just looking to see if anyone has had problems with real leather seats in a vert.

I believe Mark(6LE) said somewhere himself that youd be better off with synthetic leather and spend the $150 on the brackets instead ..
I wish I could change my seats soon too ..

6LE, can you do a cloth /synthetic leather mix? i would prefer a cloth center to allow my back and legs to breath.

I had cheap eBay knock off racing seats in my car for 3 summers now.
Seats look & feel like they did on day 1. Drivers seat needs new foam now though.
I'm sure 6le seats are better quality than these n will last.
Brackets are always a plus! I had to make mine.
