Tan Leather Seat Covers on Ebay.. Anyone have these?

[J.Graham]

Hi, I read most of the seat cover posts that came up in multiple searches and I'd like OEM Leather replacement covers (just need drivers side back & seat). Plan is to install heaters in both seats as well.
Question; Has anyone tried these exact covers?
The reviews on ebay are promising but wondering how close the color-match is and if anyone who has tried these could comment and post a few pics?
Much appreciated.
Cheers

If they were ....

from the same vendor who sold them on ebay a few years ago, many guys thought they were great. It's been a long while since I've seen any 3rd gen leather seat replacement covers on ebay. Looks like theres a phone contact; requests a sample.
Having said that, I searched forever (1yr) and finally found a auto/furniture leather upholstery shop locally that did complete full leather front and rear seats as well as upgraded cushion/bolsters for less than $800. Where most places wanted $1200 plus. I ventured by his shop to see a couple auto leather jobs he had completed before I commissioned his services.
Honestly if your seat cushions or bolsters are worn and not replaced; all you are accomplishing by changing the leather is dressing up the appearance.

Good luck with your selection....Merry Christmas

Good idea 8sm, I'll give them a call and request a sample.
Funny enough, the cushions & bolsters are still in decent shape. I'll probably end up replacing both the driver and passenger side leather since I have to take them apart to add the heating elements. I'll also swap the seat cushions while I'm at it.

Those sides aren't leather, that's why. They are vinyl. That's what makes them 'hybrid' leather seats.
