Leatherseats .com job on vert seats finished!
Well, I redid my vert seats with a nice new leather from Leatherseats .com. I have recovered seats before, but have used oem seat covers. I know several members have used the group buy to purchase new seat leather from these guys. Can I get some opinions as to the quality and fit experienced by other members using this vendor?
(keeping my opinion to myself for now)

Mine came out very good, they use pics of mine I sent on the ebay listing. Not perfect but after some use the few wrinkles settle.
Not as good as OEM - not as thick, more vinyl parts on sides for example than OEM.
Depending on the condition of your seat foam, the fit could differ.
But for $499 group buy last winter I can't complain.

I'm still waiting on the seats to come back. They screwed up my order and had to redo them. They caught the mistake before they sent it out but still... Secondly, mine were WAY more than $499. Was that for one or two? My order was nearly double. No second thought, the suade middle and seat heaters were probably most of the difference. While I'm posting; where do you get upgraded headrest speakers? I'd like some new one's while I'm redoing the seats.

So suede inserts and perforated definitely add to the price, at the time I think they wanted $650 with no discount.

Ding ding ding ding! I have been expecting that question! I did one headrest for practice. I am doing the other one completely documented with pictures. The tutoral will answer many questions and should be quite complete.
There will be a branch in the proceedure, depending upon if you are using your existing headrest cover or if you are using the nice, new leather headrest covers from Leatherseats.com.

Consensus is seat material is similar or better than stock quality. Fitment depends on the shrinkage & wear of the stock foam inserts inside the seat. If the foam is badly worn or damaged, you'll need to repair that.
They do offer 2-tone and different material options for a custom look or cheaper price. They can embroider most anything that is not copyright. If you want "Mazda, Turbo II, or RX-7" embroidered, a local shop can do that semi-legally.
