I think leather is better than cloth anyday. They would help if they were heated, too. I think this would be a perfect upgrade if you don't already have them. Factory OEM or a good aftermarket one is all you need. I would also try to get the door inserts to match.

Leather is Definitly the way to go.. my Mustang hand leather and my new Maxi has leather too (w/heated seats). It's so much more comfortable and easier to clean if something spills on them. If you are that close though; I would suggest maybe taking a ride down there to get an up close look at them. The pictures look very generic and don't really get close and detailed.. Just remember the car had 85K miles on it when these seats came out. They are probably fine, but never hurts to take a look before you buy. Price seems cheap too for leather seats.

Once you get the seats only use a few applications of Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil.......none of the other **** by Meguiars/Eagle/Armorall etc. You the Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil and your **** will look and FEEL brand new in a few applications

Its a company that sells parts of different cars that were hurt in accident, and this maxima was one of them. He has couple other leather seats but they are located in New York, and Iam not going to pay $175 for shipping, and i believe that the bid might go higher I hope it dosent. But I'll prbly go 2morrow and check the seats out.
thanks

If i do buy them, should i jsut take my seats out, and put these on, or take the leather off and put it on my, but that would be pain in the ***.
and where can i get the motor that powers the seat, since mine is manual rite now and the leather seats on ebay are automatic ones. any suggestions?
thx

You can probably find the power seat motor at a salvage yard, or maybe an online parts store or the dealer. And I wouldn't take the leather off the new seats, I'd simply swap them all out. Good luck!

For $150 I would not hesitate for a second to purchase those.

idk, it seems like there is a stain on the driver seat,
and i talked to some ppl that already have leather seats, and they sat that after like 1yr it wears out, and its really ugly
so idk, i'll rather get something else for maxima for $150 than those seats,
i do like those seats, cause' i got in plans to put headrest tvs and it would look reallly good with those seats
thx
