Default Leather Seat Cover review

This is a short review for Interior Innovations leather seat covers. I could only find a little information about these seat covers so I figured I would add my experiences with them. Interior innovations was easy to work with and happy to accommodate the slightly custom, 380RS like, design. Shipping was fast considering the covers are made overseas.





On to the covers them selves. The material is good quality but not great. Given that these are half the price of other leather seat covers I am not complaining. You will need to cut holes for the head rest and passenger seat release. Using zip-ties and the nico club guide the install was relatively easy, if you are patient. A heat gun and leather conditioner helps with stretching the leather.





Overall I am very pleased with the results and enjoying the upgrade from cloth! I am happy to answer any questions about the covers so ask away.

A little about the car, it is a 2007 Enthusiast that's otherwise bone stock.

I agree with dcains. You did a nice clean install. They look good.

Now if I could just teleport over to where you are and see how they feel in person...

Lol joking. I already have leather seats but nice work OP!

So the cloth comes off and this just slides over the seat frame?

For the most part. The cover is attached to the foam, the foam is separate from the frame, along the indented seams using hog-rings or zip-ties and then slipped over the frame.

Excellent job they look like stock leather seats. How long did it take you to recover them time wise?

Each seat took about 4 hours of relaxed work, the driver seat took about 6 hours overall but that was just time waiting for the foam repair glue to dry.

The red stitching gives a nice contrast. How's the install?
