Leatherseats.com install
I bought a set of leather seats (new covers) from the leatherseats.com group buy last month. The quality is very good and they fit fine. I installed the seats myself!!! I bought the hog ring install kit and downloaded the instructions form their web site.
It was not as bad as I thought. The first seat took about 3 hours to do because I was worried of screwing up the seat. The second took less than 2 hours.

I 2nd that!!!
Cool I just saved myself $500+ on that upgrade by seeing those pics.. Thanks man I owe ya one!!
Was kinda curious how they held up and that's totally not acceptable after even one year, let alone 6 months.
I would imagine that the factory Nissan leather holds up a lot better than those E-bay and .com covers???

That's bad news.
Has anyone else had the same results with leatherseats.com? I would like to see that!
Also, has anyone had problems with Classic Soft seats?
TIA

I don't know how much my experience can count, I've only had my leatherseats.com covers for about a month. Extremely pleased, I got Burnt Orange and shipping was fast considering they did some custom embroidery for me. BTW, they were the ONLY company willing to do something/embroidery other than the standard "Z" you see everyone with. I'll post some pics this weekend if I have time.
