Default New Interior Seat 2012 Conversion

I am not big at waving a flag on most products, but I had to on this one. I bought the 2012 seat conversion from LeatherSeats. I looked at the conversion last year and saw their video. I requested samples that matched what I had already had from factory. I bought the seats in march and waited the 8 weeks lead time. I was not disappointed. I installed them myself. The comparison between the factory leather and the new seats beyond what I can describe. I even compared my friends 2013 seats to mine and there was a noticeable difference. The price difference between new factory covers and LS is not much when you realize the difference in foam, amount of leather used and overall quality. Also they have awesome customer service. I always received updates or questions when I asked, and all emails or phone calls where returned by next day latest. If you want new seats go to these guys. Attached are some of the photos that do not show the real story.

Wow, those are nice. I really like the stitching. Did you have to get used to the higher seating position?

Maybe inadvertant, but you significantly cut down a demographic of buyers if you decide to sell, lol. I guess you'll know if the right one comes to view your car and he/she acts like an _$$.

Again, very nice!

Are these newer style seats really taller than the older 2007 style seats? I'm quite intrigued by these but cannot afford to lose any headroom at all.

Never selling car, ever. Paid for, why would I. I don't think the padding would raise the seat higher not much. I believe someone make lower seat frame rails. Cost was $2100, new seat covers $1500 from dealers, and I purchased a seat that had more leather than the factory. The factory leather seats only has leather on the front all other areas are other materials.
