Not here, went custom replacement, very good yet not cheap ($775 both fronts back/bottom).
Those ebay jobs sure look good. Are you getting new foam too? I'd highly recommend that. Multiple layers of increasing firmness yields a really good soft yet supportive feel and improves the ride feel alot. Luck and enjoy that runner. :cowboy:

I have both front seat bottoms, new foam under driver, passenger foam very good, 4-2017 11k miles of seat time.
Overall quality is good stitch spacing is correct fit was perfect. Oak color match is good compared to old upper color, others couldn't tell I changed covers.
I use Griot's 3 in 1 cleaner conditioner regularly. The leather used has a more textured suface than Toyota leather and is starting to smooth out.
Stitching is not stretching, staying tight. Will they last like Toyota's leather I doubt it, maybe 10 yr life span.
They have lowered price from $179 I'd do it again for sure if materials and workmanship is same.

Seat foam is new offering didn't have it 2017. I paid $150 for OE foam depending on foam quaility they have looks like a win win.
Foam is showing needed molded in wire I would call them and make sure.

I used this guy in 2017 to replace both seat bottoms. Really high quality.

The guy [MENTION=303761]WWRD99[/MENTION] mentioned is one I checked out also good workmanship, didn't have any experience with that material is why I opted for US seat covers.

Molded Driver's Seat Foam on Ebay
You might want to checK this thread. This company advertises their seat foam and then sends you something different. They are doing a bait and switch. Maybe they have changed since I ordered their stuff?
I ordered from that eBay vendor both driver top and bottom seat covers (~$355) along with new top and bottom seat foam (~$330) from a Toyota dealership that does online parts sales and had a vehicle upholstery shop in NoVA install it last fall.
It's held up very well, so far. Color is a little lighter, but my other oak seats are 20 years old, so they've definitely seen the effects of aging and sunlight.
Night and day difference. Before the seat foam was just dead; now it feels good enough to do a full day's driving without numbness.
I wanted to make my 4Runner last forever before, now even more so.
But the cost of the seat covers, foam, and install totaled to about $800.
So my pick-a-part shopping list includes an ultra cheapo used driver seat or passenger seat in case I total my current T4R. I'll swap in the thrashed used seat before I give up the $800 one.

I am in the market for some leather seat covers. It looks like there are a variety of manufactures to choose from. How did you decide on US Seat Cover? Do they have their own youtube instructional video? TIA!
Did you ever buy new leather seat covers? I am looking for some reviews of various replacement options. Thanks.

The original links aren't working for me but have you considered Wet Okole's seat covers. They are high quality neoprene that come in all kinds of colors for around $300 for a set of the front two seats.

I have considered the WO covers. I have heard they don't breath so well so you end up sweating while sitting. I also have two large dogs that shed a lot and assumed dog hair would get stuck in the WO covers if they rub up on the seat.

I googled reviews on them, spoke on phone with owner. I did'nt need a how to vid so I can't say if they do or not.
The US covers have held up well on both seats, the Oak color matches real close, people that don't know don't notice the difference.
