These look great for the $$ i have heard good reviews from the buyers was looking as these myself. You can get the same product and pay markup from many vendors who resell seat covers ..

Thanks for the positive feedback. I understand that they are not perfect. I'm not OCD so the wringles don't bug me that much. Anyone having anything to say about the crinkling noise? Will the noise decrease when the seats settle? Anyone delt with this?

Just because vendors go on ebay to sell their items don't mean all their products is crap. You're a little too close minded 
To op: Were they just seat covers? When I had mine done (different vendor), they tore the cloth seat... So mine is a replace and not a cover...

possible that it's the plastic under the material, or they stripped the bolts on the seats and they're now loose allowing movement making noise. check the mount bolts to the seat/back, and the floor mounts.

The cloth is removed and the leather goes on so yes they are replaceable. You just need to pay for the install.
Thanks for the reply. I would think its not the bolts because the seats don't move during tight cornering and the leather is completely fixed by hog rings and doesnt move around at all so its not that either. I hope its just the new leather rubbing a little and just needs wearing in.
Has anyone used a hairdryer to get wrinkles out?

I think racer seats in a daily driver are teh gay. I mean seriously, is there a single good looking woman who would actually felate an adult man who drove around in racer seats?

Hey don't call my seats crap that is so rude!
The whole ordeal cost me like $300 bucks and the cost to quality ratio was worth it for me. I am satisfied for now. I may eventually buy some bride seats if I can get a seatbelt to work and not look like I'm going to the track.
Anyway, here are the pics....Keep in mind they were put in recently and the seats have not seen much if anyone sun as I work late and garage it during the day, you know at my job, where I earn my own money for food and cable and other necessities.

i believe the ebay seller is the same people from here:
http://www.leatherseats.com/
Which i believe supply the leather seats to katzskins as well...i could be completely wrong.
To the OP, if you paid $175 you might have their synthetic leather kit not the real leather.

dont knock them until you sit in a nice performance car with good racing seats. its a whole new experience even driving normally. it lets you feel how the car wants to drive, all the details of the road, you become part of the car. my brides have made driving my Z a complete experience. i love them to death.
