Couldn't find anything in a search. I want to get contrasting double seams on a new set of seats. These look like a good deal. What do you guys think, any experience with them?

Is that the same company as Bill with leatherseats.com, who had the group buys on the forum?

If so, the quality is pretty good. I've had to e-mail Bill concerning my FD replacement leather seats (tan) and haven't heard back from him yet. The seam that holds the seat cushion and the leather flap that slips over the seat bolt hinge for the upper and lower sections came un-stitched. It didn't seem to be stretched to far, just the seam came unraveled.

Also the pattern used by leather seats.com and that company on e-bay you linked only have the seat pattern for 86-88 for the FC. Not the 89-91. For those FC guys - the side parts of the lower piece (where your thighs would rest against) on the pic shows the foam will fit the 86-88 but if you have an 89-91, you will have to come up with a way to fill in the side bolsters since the 89-91 are more long and don't vary in height like the 86-88 side bolsters on bottom.

im not sure that is the same company. i will say i got my seats from bill as well fitment wasnt perfect. I had a VERY talented upholstery guy install mine and he had to restick a few parts and tighten some stuff up all in all he had about 11 hous in putting them on but they look fantastic. no wrinkles like you so often see from a DIY job. so i would say if you do buy new seat covers have them put on by somebody with some exp and do it right the first time.
