What Would You Choose?

Leather seats with eBay inserts for $260, or Y-Pipe from budget for around $200? Leather seats are hard to come by when you want to swap, and prices differ drastically. Y-pipe will most likely be available for a long time, so I can get whenever. What would you choose?

If they are real leather oem seats and inserts, i'd personally go with them cause like you said, the y-pipe will always be around somewhere.

I'm leaning towards seats but I don't know, y-pipe might be better choice since cheaper. Seats don't come by for that price too often, so I don't know. Any opinions?

Leather, it cuts down on the dust inside the car and ultimately the dust that gets into your lungs.

So why would you choose y-pipe, since it's exterior?

I personally think cloth seats are better, leather seats are only for looks. IF you got tints, leather isn't necesary. and a y-pipe will bring much more satisfaction. and it's cheaper.

You obviously are leaning toward the leather, so go for it.

oem leathers cool and all, but try takin hard corners and sweeping curves at the cars limit and you'll notice your **** sliding all over the place, and trying to work the clutch while your body's in motion is a skill i have yet to acquire. i want to buy some non-leather buckets for my ride.

Picked up the seats today, just finished installing them. Let me tell you, it's hella nice. My car looks so much better than before. Only downfall is that there are no heaters for the seats, but I will install different ones in the future. Anyway, next mod: Y-Pipe!

Whatever you want done on your interior can be modified at anytime and isnt as important as the objects under your vehicle.

Here are some pics, door panels I will be making myself. The person I bought the seats from showed me how the panels look and are really nice. IMO look better than factory. Don't have pics of panels but will in the near future. Both seats are power. Total was $200.

Damn those seats are sexy, buy them. They look to be in great condition especially for $260. BTW, will you be making the inserts yourself or will you be purchasing them? (I'm looking to do a similar job in the future)
