Well I'll tell you why "I" didn't buy them. They only sell the front and the Color isn't even remotely close so when you're done you have front seats that stick out like a sore thumb and back seats a completely different color.
Its like using completely different seats from another car in the front from the back and looks effed up.

It looks like a good option for those (like me) on a budget. Right now my rear seat is a pleather generic seat cover that I cut and spray-glued over the destroyed OEM surface. It was better than nothing but hardly a luxurious solution.
This would let me have fresh black seats at a pretty low price. I'm bookmarking it if nothing else.

Looks like a good deal. I would give them a shot if I had another car to try them on.
The leatherseats kit is leather/pleather mix, fyi. It's not 100% leather unless you call them and special order it. Who knows how much it would end up costing if you did that.

I just don't see this as a cheap alternative at $325 for fake vinyl seat covers. I'd go the auto parts store fake leather covers for $75 route before doing this if it's gonna be fake either way.
Not to discourage though. For some I am sure this will do.

But it is intentionally done in the area of the seat the Leather will fail. It's is a BETTER design that'll last forever and you still get leather seats.

Not intentionally being rude, just it seems every thread or post about a cheap alternative to a part on our vehicles is never good enough. Only if you buy a part for 8 times the cost of one you recommend, I for one have a 94' SC300 that I drive to and from work everyday, muddier than a rednecks socks, dustier than July is Texas.. My car is a work vehicle.
Just wondering why everything always has to be expensive.. Higher cost does not always mean higher quality...
EDIT: No harassment or arguing intended.

Is there anything inexpensive that people can do to there car's that you don't disagree with? Not everything has to be an arm and a leg.

I sincerely thank you for all of the knowledge and help that you have contributed over the past years. It was just an observation made in text. Once again, no anger intended. It just seems as if you didn't find it, come up with the idea, or have already started your own repairs to something of the same nature, you always have a negative remark. I have ordered this kit, front and rear, discounted price for buying as a set.(Total being less than $300 shipped) I sure hope it is a good quality material, but my luck, it's going to be as you stated. Inadequate, I guess would be a good word to use. I will let everyone know how the material looks and feels.
