Default Any experience with these seat covers

Hey Guys.

My old Cloth interior is starting to look a bit worn, so i was thinking of changing it out with this instead, but im not sure about the quality and fit of this item.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-08-Ni...item27d38a5e54

Hope you can help me out!

several members have purchased from that seller and have good reviews. Why not spend a bit more for their real leather stuff. Do it right the first time

Why not go for the factory finish and buy some from a low mileage wreck or from the marketplace on this forum?

I don't see people always suggest to get the real leather. Yeah, it sounds better if you say "oh look at my real leather seats' but honestly I was debating between real leather and synthetic seats, and I have to admit getting real leather makes no sense.

Real leather seats need to meticulously be taken care of. They will wrinkle and are real skin so they will deteriorate. Synthetic leather will outlive the life of real leather. As well, synthetic leather will be easier to clean if there's a mess, it's cheaper, and installed synthetic leather has generally looked better than real leather.

People on the forums always push people to get the more expensive things because it's "nicer" and they just want to be more showy in general. I'm just posting this because if you're not dead set on leather, then I think you should highly consider synthetic.

Anyways, I just ordered my set of synthetic leather w/ suede inserts. Hope you enjoy your seats whether you get synthetic or leather.

You decided you will go for the "cheaper" alternative. Good. But don't make a mess of yourself by arguing that synthetic leather is more durable than real leather.

Real leather is made of skin and it's porous. You can look anywhere. Find leather seats that have been used regularly for a few years and they're cracked and wrinkled and falling apart. Leather is great for a few years, but synthetic leather will outlive the life of real leather. It IS more durable, lol.
