Leatherseats.com Review
#21
Right off the bat - I got the leatherseats.com covers. I'd love to post pics if anyone could show me how.
I have an 03 Sebring w/ a red interior. I went with their standard leather content package. Tim in sales was very helpful.
I wanted all red seats w/ perforations and he recommend color samples. He stated to me that they added a new
Red that I should consider so, he sent me samples to choose from.
I received the samples quickly and there was a perfect match in the batch - To all of you considering it, obviously get the samples.
I noticed a color variance in my car. A sample matched the red in the seats but another sample matched the red in the plastics
better in the car (I have an all red interior). My thought on that is perhaps over time either the seats got darker or
The plastics have gotten lighter from fading. The logical thing to do in this case is match the plastics so that everything is the same so
that's what I went with.
I paid $659. Via PayPal waited about three weeks and out-of-the-box these covers smelled like a baseball glove, looked
amazing, the color was dead-on and the build quality looked perfect to me.
I purchased a hog ring tool, hog rings and very important, new foam seat cushions from Honda. I purchased mine
from Bernardiparts. Chances are went you take your seats apart the bolsters will be crushed and split. plus, Over all,
the foam will not be as full as when new and yeah you could blah, blah, blah revive them by steaming but when the bolsters are falling
apart what's the point? Your spending the money reupholstering - Get fresh foam!
I photographed every step as I took them apart for reference and honestly it was SIMPLE. The upholstery is a reversal of the take down.
It's almost impossible to place a hog ring in the wrong place but if you do you simply cut it off and install another. The fit and finish is fantastic
and now in the car for 10 months they look and smell gorgeous. My friends can't believe I did them myself.
I use Zainos' leather cleaner and conditioner which is the best there is. It isn't shiny leaving a factory matte appearance and smells
like a leather glove. I'm so happy with the quality and result that I leathered up my CRZ and my Ridgeline as well. I highly please with
Leather seats.com and would encourage anyone to do their own work. Remember, New foam is fuller. Fuller foam = better fit! And your bolsters will
Look like the day they rolled out the factory. - someone please show me how to post pics!

leatherseats.com told me they can not reproduce all the back stitching on the back of the original seat and headrest and that if i wanted to have it be identical to just buy oem factory covers

If you are so picky that they have to look exactly like oem then the only option is new oem seats ...
I have ordered my leathers from leather seats .com... I think their 100 percent nicer than clazzios.. Number one these actually replace the leather not just slip over ..
Also to add you can not look at these and judge until they have a good year to tighten up in the sun .. They will definately tighten up and look better ... I'll post a few pics ..
This is now over a year later .. I have pics of when they went on but have to get them off my other fone ... Now people think their oem ..

Hi, Everyone. New member to the forum although I've browsed it from time-to-time over many years since I purchased my Suzuka Blue '06 from the dealer. Now it's time to get new seat covers. My OEM covers are blue. I've received some swatches from leatherseats.com but they don't seem to have a match. One shade of blue is too bright and a second shade is too dark. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to find quality covers that are a closer color match to the OEM blue? Thanks for the assist.
