Beware this eBay seat cover vendor
Here is the auction link (which you may have to cut and paste depending on your browser):
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...1%7C240%3A1318
I just want you to give bidders a head's up on what you are getting before you have to pay return shipping should you decide to return these covers, like I did. Vendors specifically state the seat portion is leather like OEM seats are,
but in fact they are a synthetic plastic on fabric (naugahyde) stitched onto a low grade leather backing. This company is remorseless in their deceptive advertising.
They don't care that you'll be stuck with $45 + return shipping fees if you aren't happy.
They won't last like a quality leather cover would and they are slippery like naugahyde is. They will cost more to install than they are worth, over $300 for a typical install.
Hope this helps...
BTW, You are permitted to retract a bid if you believe an auction to be deceptive, which this one clearly is.

I bought leatherseats for my mr2 and installed them myself.
They fit and look really nice. But as mentioned, they are not leather. I felt ripped off becuase the group buy thread kept saying "genuine leather" over and over.
total BS. not a bad product anyway, but the slimy advertising makes me never want to buy them again. I'd rather pay someone local $1000 and get seats wrapped with the real deal.

Leather Seat
I had a set installed that were purchased from leatherseats.com and my installer said they were real leather. He also stated that they we of good quality and that he could not make a set and come even close on price. There are some loose spots on the back of the headrests, but my installer said they will tighten up over time, especially with a convertible.
Overall, I am pleased
