Vert seat covers

Custom Leather Seats, Auto Upholstery, Car Leather Upholstery, Truck Leather Upholstery, Leather Seat Covers, Auto Interiors by LeatherSeats.com

I put these on back in 2006 when I redid the top. They were about $550 back then including the perforated leather inserts. Now they would be about $800.

Top knotch product.

I ask the top upholstery guy in town and he said there are only a couple of companies that make these skins anyway.
I would go with the company above myself.

Just take your seats to an upholstery shop and get them done there. I know a location where I can do it for cheap. Lol

I might take you up on it if they were tii seats.

Pm me your number and I'll shoot you some pictures.

I've been in contact with this guy the past several days. Seems like a good deal and a nice guy, but the colors are limited.

I got some for my 10AE from seats01 as well. They do buy it now for 399 but they had an auction set lower so I bid at the reserve and won.

They look great. I took them to an upholstery shop to get them put on.

I was thinking more of a two-tone deal...like black with a blue perforated insert.

I installed ebay leather seat covers on the fc turbo2. Came out great. Understand that the leather is only in the middle and the sides of the seatbacks. The rest is vinyl. But they came out awesome. Super easy to do. perfect fit. I paid like 280 or so but the price has gone up.
