Interior Innovations was the absolute best price for new covers and I think they look great. I just got mine and took the seats out today to get them recovered. Very exciting!!! Can't wait to get them back...

On the big auction site there is a company out of Australia selling leather covers for $399. Has anyone seen their products or dealt with them?
I'm only posting the link for reference, not to promote the sale of their goods.

I may be mistaken, but I thought “Leatherseats11” was a British company. Maybe I have the name wrong but the one I’m thinking of did only trim stuff, but not seats, like Redline.

The color is firethorne. Those are the original seats, the new covers and foam are behind them in the picture. I'm supposed to have them back tomorrow so I'll throw a photo up once they get back.

I have had several sets of wet Okole seat covers and they are super durable, look great, are comfortable and a great value!

that’s why I suggested them since the OP wanted to protect the seats he had. The W/O covers are so comfortable, I wonder why I bothered with the leather seats!!

I had the wet Okole seat covers ( probably the best neoprene seat covers out there ) they were cool to the touch and comfortable, But I could not take the look, compared to the leather, and the fact that they do not conform as tightly and ( float across the bolsters ) instead of being form fitting. They are indeed protective and comfortable.. Just take the total look of the interior down a few notches.

Especially with the bolster area. I didn’t think that on mine from Int.Innov., that the center panels are their ‘Nova suede” and the rest is perforated leather, so I don’t have the discomfort I associate with warm weather with these seats.

Only warning that is going to be given - tone down the personal attacks, digs, etc. There is no need to be so argumentative in threads like this.

ET,
I would kindly like a response as to why you blatantly lied to me in my private message. Thank you, sir. Also, isn’t calling someone a “troll” disrespectful and against community guidelines? Also, isn’t mocking someone for one’s age against community guidelines? Thank you.

You have a lot of nerve calling someone a liar. Especially when proof of your erroneous, hearsay, initial “statement” is provided in writing. You claim to have made a phone call. Prove it!

You also exhibit poor character by ignoring the the privacy of a conversation in a lame attempt to have the last word, including your overlooking the warning from our moderator, who is also a person deserving of respect. I wonder how many valid discussions have degraded into arguments because of the almighty last word.

So you ignore written proof, prolong an argument in a venue where not only are they infrequent and discouraged, and continue as if you have no responsibility for the problem in the first place. It was YOU, who started this with your pointless attack, claiming your hearsay ‘info’ is the truth despite written proof otherwise, questioning people who have been active upstanding members of this group for many years. You are wrong here and I suggest you just be quiet and stop acting like a petulant child. Maybe you will have the privilege of growing old someday.

Deep breath, Chasboy. This too shall pass. Also, i was under the assumption that threats and, specifically, threats of physical violence, wasn’t condoned on this forum. Sounds like sanctions are headed your way. Moreover, while I appreciate your use of hearsay, venue, and poor character, please leave that rhetoric for attorneys. If, alternatively, you are an attorney, please provide your bar number and the state of your membership. I shall pass these public threats on to the disciplinary board. 😁 The terms of “moral turpitude” come to mind.
