Where is a good place to get leather seat covers? Are there any shops in the bay that can do a really good install job? About how much is install?

Thanks!

I'm looking for Tan leather, like the stock ones. I also have side impact airbags. Does that affect the type of seat covers I came buy since the side impact airbags are in it's own cover?

no they actually make them to your exact needs for anywhere from 5 -650. check ebay. i just got some burt orange for 525. and had my previous two tone done for close to 700 but this was 6-7 months ago.

Does leatherseats.com have perforated leather as well? How's the leather quality? Do they crack with time?

i've had problems with leatherseats.com's quality. the best is classic soft trim. you get what you pay for.

You could get them done in vinyl, they make some you cant tell if it's leather or not. alot more durable also. you can check www.yourautotrim.com and see the million choices of materials including leather. I know some of you will call bs to the leather statement but ask a upholster that has done it awhile and they'll tell you the same thing. Unless your buying from them and of course leather cause they can make alot more money on the materials. vinyl is easier to repair also, or if you have to replace just a bolster, or center you can.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Keep them coming!
How hard is it to install the seat covers? How much does it usually cost to get them installed professionally?

one of the online companies has an install kit, but i've seen them installed, and it looked like a skilled/experienced person should do it (in my case, at least). as for install costs, mine was $100, but it was in tj.

If you have a steamer that would be a plus. you basically remove your covers. fold the new covers inside out and roll them on your seat like you would a condom. taking your hand and smacking down to make it tight. you would need hog ring and hog ring pliers to attach it to the frame. it's really not that hard. afterwards you'd use the steamer which will shrink it up a bit and take out wrinkles. if your getting some made i would use vinyl, leather is way way over rated.
