OK I'm still confused. I see zips on the seats so does that mean our seats are actually only covers?

How else would they cover??? It's foam then the leather... they are not the crap you get in the store that lays over the seat to cover worn out spots!

I have the exact same on my car...check out

If you were referring me back to my thread, I meant that the original factory seat covers had leather sides where as the leatherseats.com had vinyl sides.

The Leatherseats.com covers do not have leather on all surfaces. They are still worth the money in my opinion.

No, they didn't! I had to reuse the ones on the old seats.

It must be because the sides are vinyl.

Everywhere your bum and back touch is leather. The sides and the back of the seat is vinyl. I was a little aggravated by this myself at first, but after seeing prices of full 100% leather seats one can beat the price. You should be satisfied when you install them.

$479 on group buy. They were $579 regular at that point, so with shipping $600 sounds right.

24/Seven,

How long did it take to do each seat?
Any problems with the fitment?
Pix look great, are you happy with the end result?
