I don't know if anyone has seen these but i am really really impressed by these. I have seen several co's come and ive seen a lot of non matching le covers that don't match like mine which are pretty much burgundy.

These seem to match the interior pretty well and for 220.00$ i think it's a steal.

I am going to buy a set.

The centers look "Cloth" on the installed photos vs the non-installed photos

They're perforated leather on the installed pix. That makes the center look lighter and different.

I thought it looked awful like that to These are the only seats ive seen to date that have the oem style headrest speaker cutouts there typically the perforated inserts which look awful.

Cool Martin. The wait is finally over. Did you put on a little Al Green and talk real sweet like I suggested?:winky:

Al Green and sweet talk? I must have missed a post somewhere.

Yeah, it was a while back. That is my formula when you need to convince a female to let you do something for which they don't share your same sense of enthusiasm.

Looks good Martin. Did you request for a certain red leather for that? I hope this okay but here is the a shot of the swatches I have the two on the right is from this Ebay seller and the big one on the left is "Ecstasy Cobalt Red" fro leatherseat.com

Yours looks like a different red too. Can you clarify what red leather it that they used?

Oh can you lay those seat covers on a door card so we can see how it blends with the LE red? Thanks

I sent the seller a link to that first pic in this thread and said I wanted that same color without the perforation. The paperwork that came with in the box says "maroon"

I just went out and held one up to my door panel:

Good enough for the price, I'd say. Since the seller had never done '01 - '05 seats I sent them my original upholstery. They used that as their template and gave me a discount :)

Very nice. It looks like a much better rendition than the other covers they made. Let us see the installed pics.

The looseness on the base is my fault. I did a rather aggressive foamectomy and the metal rod that the hog rings are supposed to attach to is no longer there. Oops.

Thanks all! I'm very happy with this leather so far, especially for the price.

Sharpie, do you still have my old seats in the boxes or did you put them in your car?

Sharpie

Yep, still in the boxes.

Sharpie receives PMs to buy the seats in 3, 2, 1...

Has anyone tried these LE seat covers for actual NA seats? The quality/fitment looks just OK from the eBay ad.
