I had a professional installer removed the old and replaced with new leather. He has done few cars for my family in the past, so I got a good deal on labor charge from him. Anyway, hopefully the vendor will cooperate and expedite the order out to you asap.

Good luck !!

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 !!

Temptation,

Where/Who did you buy your seat covers from?

dadewi -- I ordered mine from leather-seats on ebay, the same vendor which Triple C bought his. The last time I checked on Ebay, I believe the vendor is selling for $499 o.b.o. for our 1st Gen GS300.

Temptation,

They are perforated, right? Did you have any issues with your seats?

When you order the set, you do have a choice in terms of perforated or non-perforated, single or dual color. My installer felt that these seat covers are too short, even when he used the heat gun and tried to stretch as best as he could. I'm not sure if Triple C has also experienced the similar issue. But from the pictures above, the result is not that bad looking.

(Not a chance in Hell. You need to send me the right pattern then I will send you the original leather. You guys have not communicated in any professional way. You need to do it this way. I also have another person who will buy the Original Tan that you sent to me if you are still looking to get rid of it for 400$.
I AM NO THEIF BUT I AM A VALUED CUSTOMER BECAUSE I BELONG TO THE CLUBS WHO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS. IF YOU DO IT THIS WAY I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT YOU TOOK CARE OF IT AND THEY WILL REGAIN YOUR TRUST THAT YOU HAVE DECENT SERVICE. Respond soon as it is in your best interest to do so.
I am an honest person and I will not take your stuff Kasey King Please call me 970-481-9944 we can solve this easier over the phone)

we will see what happens

No i just want what i asked for and hopefully this guy responds back in a better time frame then the last time he responded. 12 days it took to get an answer from them. trust me i didnt just send 1 e-mail either.
