Decent Seat Covers?

I'm looking for a decent set of seat covers due to my drivers seat having almost no leather on the left side due to an older guy i bought the car from who liked to slide in and out... it makes my car feel way too worn. Im not looking to spend a grand or two on getting the interior refinished...at least not for a year or so. I was looking at Egay and found a couple sets that were leather like material and the seller said if (both of them told me the same thing) i didn't like the fit or the style i could send them back and receive a refund

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-...=p4506.c0.m245

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAR-S...=p4506.c0.m245

i know ill probably get what i pay for and my hopes aren't high, trust me.

Does anyone else have these or similar ones? How was the fitment?

Those look alittle Janky in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with the price. Personally I think if your not going to have them professionally done or go with this option http://www.katzkin.com/main.html then I would suggest a nice "Real" set of sheep skin seat covers. Beleive it or not they are extremely comfy...

You might wanna shop around at some local upholstery shops & get some pricing. I had front & rear seats, & door panel inserts redone in a synthetic black leather & white suede for $400.00 labor + the material ($120) so the grand total was $520 & they look sweet. Nice & tight, no baggy corners or anything. So do yourself a favor first & shop around before you make a final decision.

If you like the OEM leather why not just shop around for a 'new' used drivers side seat? Shouldn't be more than a 100$ or so.

I'm guessing to get the answer your looking for you would have to call them directly & ask? But I'm sure they can accommodate your every need when it comes to auto interiors...

Did you ever pick up the ebay seat covers? I've had no luck with the local junkyards and these are tempting.

Honestly, By doing the cheap temporary quick fix, and you'll end up spending more money in the end. Just save your dollars and go all out on what you really want. I went with a Roadwire Leather Interior Front & Rear with matching leather door Panel inserts. Do the job right one time and you'll be happier in the end.
