Default Any good seat cover options?

I have a 99 gs300 and the driver seat is pretty worn down. Aside from getting it reupholstered, does anyone know of any good/nice fitting leather or vinyl seat covers? I saw a couple of options for about $150 on eBay but if anyone has any ideas of other good options, please let me now. My interior is tan leather btw. Thanks!

Just remember the saying "you get what you pay for". You might find a bargain but end up spending more. I have clazzio seat covers and the fitment is great. The only thing is that the front center console would have to be either stapled or glued.

I just did a full kit in tan from www.leatherseats.com on my 99 GS. Love the finished look and lots of custom options if you want.

Its hard to beat Clazzio for the price. But if you want to go all out and replace the leather, then do leatherseats.com. Or the other option ,of course, is to have a local upholstery shop make you custom replacements.

OP, just remember Clazzio is vinyl NOT leather. There is a detailed thread here if you want more information.

This post is nothing without pics!!!!! Please post. Is it real leather or vinyl. For the price, I hope it real leather. Also, does this slide over you existing seats or do you have to remove old leather and place the replacement on? Nevermind, I saw pics on the site.

^It's in the name. And no, it doesn't slide. It's leather removal and replace, hog rings and all.

EDIT: Katzkin is another alternative. They use leather as well.

Thanks for all the replies guys! Imlooking for the cheapest alternative since this is my daily driver. I think clazzio will do for now! Vinyl is fine, I just want the fit to be good!

Clazzio IS leather. Their diamond stitched custom seats are NOT and are vinyl, but their regular seats ARE leather.

Just wanted to clarify this.
