Yes this is exactly were i got them. I hagled witht the Guy over a lower price and got it, but in return i was rewarded with only a stock Replacement and not the Custom pattern Him and I discussed. It came from Nang lang China,But was listed out of Houston, and is Real Leather. it looks great and is a legit leather replacement with Paded Backing on all the pieces (minus the headrests and Middle Console's- of course). This is a perfect Direct Replacement for my worn out Stuff and it is of high quality and not some fake crap. I hope this answered your question

Exactly What i thought. I will stall until Friday just to make sure they dont scramble and try to get me the right stuff. I will, no matter what hold this Stuff Hostage until I receive a Replacement if i ever do get it.

No interest in leatherseats.com or katzkin.com? The price is about 8-900 but you can be sure if you ask for different color inserts, you'll actually get them. Tons of color/pattern/fabric options, optional stitching colors as well as piping. Ill be ordering mine off of one of those 2 sites when it's time.
Did you try heating up the areas that needed stretching, like with a heat gun and if you dont have one, then a hair dryer? That will help it stretch more, but dont get it too hot.

leather-seats on ebay. Hey remember these guy's have not even responded back to my e-mails in regards to the pattern screw up so i am not sure if i endorse the group. The seats are of good quality but the lack of communication should be a red light for Prospective Buyers. If you just want a stock replacement this provider did just that. But if you want something Custom go with a higher price outlet.

Triple C: I guess we both picked a similar color for our seats. You got yourself a good deal there, at least they gave you the front and back center console with your order. I don't understand why the vendor asked me to send in my front center console, so they can swap out the leather out for me. At the time, I didn't want to take the risk, so I told them "no thanks". You're right about one thing -- their customer service is horrible !! Enough of the rants, here are some pictures:
Hopefully your final results look better than mine. Great job on what you did so far !!

Did you put in the seats yourself and you might be able to do the center console yourselfwith a single piece of leather. It is pretty dang easy to do. I will post my progress with the leather seats group And if they are going to send me the right combe of colors I originally asked for
