I personally don't like them; I would prefer to have my seats custom fabricated rather than just cover them up, but that's all relative to your budget.

I personally would stay away from any leather goods on ebay. Specially ones you can not see or feel in person. Search around and I think there's a few threads on this subject already. Also, a buddy of mine got all the seats to his F150 leathered from a furniture upholstery shop. The quality of the leather and work was awesome and he had a mountain of selections to choose from. If you think about it there's really no difference between leathering a chair vs. the seats in your car.

They might be real leather, but they just look too contemporary to me.
