Who ever has them please answer some questions.

Does the leather feel like its "cheap quality"?
What is the hardest part of the installation?
Did the installation tools come with the kit?
And would you recommend them over factory leather seats. (I am also looking at scrap yards for a set)

I am in a group buy (ends june 30) with the altima.net forum. the price will be 560 + shipping. So the faster you can reply, the faster I can get my order in.

thanks,

I had factory leather, and in many ways, the leatherseats.com covers are superior. The leather and vinyl seem to be of better quality. The fit, for all practical purposes, is perfect. The reason I ordered them was because the front passenger seat back got a tear in it. Courtesy wanted $450 just for that one piece. If I could do it over, the only thing I would do different is get preforated leather for the seating surfaces.

You will need to order hog rings and hog ring pliers from them. Don't think that you can get the pliers at the hardware store or that you can get by with channel-locks. This job can only be done with hog ring pliers, so if you don't have some already, order them.

Nope i had it for a while now and the leather looks and feels good.. i get lots of compliments on it..


What is the hardest part of the installation?

I had it done for $250.. note i got also got quotes for $600.. but my guess would be the front seats and the hog rings and pliers..


Did the installation tools come with the kit?

I didn't get the kit.. but its additional price for the installation kit...

well my cousin has a 97 SE and his black leather is all cracked up and old looking.. he really likes mine.. says it looks better than his.. however its nothing compared to my other cousin's leather in his GS400.. that thing is beautiful

AndyXXL has black with silver inserts, and he gave me some good advice... The seats are better than stock... the hardest part of the installation if the door liners where you have to take off the whole door panel...
I'm waiting for my leather seats until they come out with suede for the Max =) then i'mma get me sum fuzzy seats that dont burn my a** in Riverside
Also Eric from leatherseats.com posts sometimes announcing group deals... i'm hopin to get a group deal started when the suede somes out in a month or less

I have the leatherseat.com seats. they are great. I get lots of compliments on them becasue they look much more luxurious then the stock leather. They sorta look like leather seats you would see in a Linc Towncar. I did not order hog rings or hog ring pliers. I used the existing hog rings and just regular old pliers. Install is a little harder if you do not get the real pliers. Took me about 1 hour to do each part. front seat, passenger seat, and the back seat in two parts. Take extra time on the door panels.

I have black/silver leather with silver door inserts. I am very satisfied with the product, looks and feels great. It took me about 2 days (4-5 hours/day) to instal everything (there was no one to help me). And if you wanna instal the covers yourself spend extra $30 or so and get an installation kit.
If any of you guys wanna see some pics shoot me an email and I'll be happy to send you some.
My email is andrey_umass@yahoo.com

Later
