I got the Front + Rear Seats + Centre arm rest cover + e brake boot bundle for $327 posted from the states over here to Aus. It's the synthetic leather (pleather) ones though. but really , you can't tell the difference and pleather doesn't require as much upkeep as real leather, and is a bit softer too.

I made an offer for $300 and it was accepted.

The install is not that bad, although it is really time consuming. You have to find the hog clips that hold the old seats in place, and snip them. Make sure not to cut the metal seat strips though. They are attached to the old seat covers, and held in by a sleeve. You will need them to install the new seat covers. Just slide the old metal strips through the same sleeves in the new seat covers. You will also have to do one hog clip at a time, in some cases, and this gets tedious at times. I worked from the inside of the seat towards the outside, as I found it was easier for me. If anyone has questions I'll try an answer them as best as I can.

So the hog rings clip around the metal strip and into the foam? Too define the stitching lines ect? Also do you have to remove the front seats and pull them apart?

Yeah, but its pretty straight forward. You just have to make sure that the position of the seat is in the right spot, or one of the bolts will be a pain to get out. You just have to move the seat brackets on the bottomwith a screw driver. Also Make sure you unplug the harnesses under the seats too.
