Has anyone used the leather like seat covers.I am looking to purchase pace car covers for my 75 and see that there is about a $200 savings.Is it worth it the savings or should I just bite the bullet and buy the leather.

I like them. Fit and finish was perfect. They are supposed to be more durable than leather, but are not as soft. Spray the leather scent in the car if that's important to ya. I couldn't afford Leather, so this was the next best thing.

P.S. Woops....so sorry for the big pic... :o

I have no direct experience with them, but heard they often outlast genuine leather but are not as soft. That $200 you save could go towards another mod!

You'll be pleased, as you probably found out Willcox are good people to work with. Ordered 100% leather, carpet, and door pannels for mine, very pleased.
