I have not but they don't look bad. Has to be better than faded, cracked seats. You should get them and let us all know what they are like.

I have a 93 with tan, cracked leather seats. I'd like to cover or replace them. Any recommendations?

Leatherseats.com in OK has the best , real leather seat covers, plus a great website that lays out step-by-step how to do it. recovered my 91 vert seats...they look factory new!! I'd post pics , but can seem to get them to load?? PM me and I'll send pics.

$600+ for the covers is too much for this hombre. Go to your local upholsterer and get an estimate.

If the upholsterer is any good, it will cost more than $600 to completely recover 2 seats in leather. My father had part of his leather seat redone in his old Vette several years ago and it was a little over $200 for just about 1/3 of his seat (mainly the bolster and a few other areas).

I just got my seats recovered and it looks awesome, bought the car with amost 93k miles and seats smelled bad and bolster wear on both seats, I guess 15years of people seating on it will do that, not up to my standards...

I've called tons of shops not just automotive upholstery shop but furniture upholstery shops. check around your area and you"ll find a upholstery shop that will do it for reasonable price..
I got mine covered in alcantara , suede like material feels and looks nice.

Here's few pics I took before install.

i agree, no custom leather/vinyl seat is going to cost less than a kit. I bit the bullet and ordered two-tone Katzkins from autoseatskins.com. Very helpful, and they order straight from Katzkin. $700 total. I'm hoping for a one of a kind look so vs. doing custom it was the only way to go. I will post up how they turn out when I get them and have them installed. Katzkin uses real leather. I bought them for my last car and loved them so I'm expecting a quality product.
