Anyone had aftermarket leather seats?

I'm about to buy a 2002 6sp and I don't need a roof or the bose system because I'm going to go aftermarket anyways, I'd like the leather seats, but they seem to come in a package, plus I'm assuming I can always get a set on the aftermarket for around the same price with higher quality leather installed, has anyone had this done? And what was the exact cost of getting it and having it installed?

My leather came out to be a hair over 700 black with blue suede inserts installation I did the rear myself and the fronts i paid 150 bucks for a shop to do it... I then ordered more blue suede material and am going to do the door inserts in suede instead of black

the shop that did it for me said he'd charge 500 if he had to do the whole interior again

Mine cost just under $700. why did you pay someone to do the front? I wasn't that difficult, just took a little more time

the back seats were easy (ALOT of time haha) but when it came to the front seats they looked... more challenging and I also received the wrong piece for my driver side lower cushion and i couldnt figure it out so I had a shop do it... turns out I had to get leatherseats.com to send me another one because they made mine for a power seat and I didnt have one... (leatherseats.com and Eric did a superb job of getting the sets shipped out and dealing with my problem)

If u are talking aftermarket seats, with leather, i sat in some recaros that were custom covered in leather and they were the best seats i ever sat in. I think they were the SE or the model that the SE replaces, but it was like a Corbeau GTSII. Very comfortable, and dont look too sporty. once you sit in them they feel very supportive, but the bolsters are much farther apart than the Recaro SRD seats. i bet u can find some fairly cheap
