I think this one is the discussed 100% leather ebay one.

I bought this one. Shipping is expensive, but fast since its from china, but possible to bid "no reserve" for a lower price then the leathersear.com one. The leather is 100% thick, fits well. Very tight because i added foam to it.

Lacks arm rest cover which is described. =(

Options n color is free, i got perforated~ should have gotten black but got tan, thought it'd be too mismatched in tan interior.

Its matte not shiny like oem leather, texture is more leather like not smooth. Gotta transfer wires from old leather to new leather. The seating part of the driver n passenger seat (the square where your butt sits) "wire pockets" are too short so i made little hooks from clothe hangers to extend secure it. Also i had to go out and buy 100 more hog rings by upholstery shop. 50 for each of the front chairs.

Well overall i give it a 8/10 9/10 if it came with armrests and no need to make the small hooks to make work and came with more hog rings.

Now just gotta see if it lasts.

sorry to bring back such an old thread but can you guys share more of your updated pics? I'd love to really see what they look like. I'm getting ready to do a SERIOUS overhaul on the interior.
