Any of you have aftermarket leather?

How is it?

What should I expect to pay?

I was on ebay yesterday and there is a set of leather seat covers available, item # 120071000139. $399.00

mtklamo - thanks. I guess my next question would be what a shop would charge to install that leather kit? So far, $1100 is the cheapest price I have found for installing aftermarket leather. If I buy the leather kit off of ebay for $399, I would hope I could get it installed for less than $200. Anyone know what I should expect for labor fee's?

The stealer had leather installed from a local shop in mine It added about 1000.00 to the bill.

I don't know what they would charge, but I think with a chilton manual and a long weekend you should be able to do it yourself.

Whats involved in installation? It should be just fitting, adjusting, zippering, etc. Maybe a few trim panels removed/reinstalled, etc. I could be wrong, but I couldn't see spending more than a half hour on each seat?
