Default Leather Seat Dillema

I did a search and couldn't find what I needed so we'll resurrect the subject :D

My seats are starting to tear a little and generally look like crap. I've decided I'm going leather and am really curious about the "driver" leather's at Ecklers. Anyone have them? Thoughts? I think I'm going to buy foam too, pretty sure what I have is original.

So I start to "sniff" around looking at prices and Wilcox's OEM leathers are HALF the cost of Ecklers! Problem is I've got a $150 gift certificate to Ecklers I want to burn.

Any info on seats, what kind, where to buy, etc. will be appreciated.

Bob

Damn Ed that's a smokin' price!! They look good, can I assume you're happy with them? I've got those same mats, do you know if they are OEM for a '70? BTW - A little Simple Green on the white portion clean them up REAL nice.

Thanks for the reply.......

I don't believe those mats were OEM for a 70 since they have the 80 crossed flag logo on them. I have the same ones except in blue.

Thanks for the web addy for Wilcox Jim!

Thanks for the info Bob...i was just comparing prices (Ecklers/Wilcox) and it looks like Wilcox has them beat price wise. It's good to know that other members are happy with the quality of Wilcox products. Thanks guys!
