You can't be both, that's just weak. Say it or don't. Your SC is maintained and you SHOULD be uninterested in this, but I am not going to waste the text to harp on Sc price points again. My SC is mint so I don't care, plus I am stitching an entire interior right now out of perforated leather. Still, yes it is a forum where we try to be respectful of others that don't have mint cars. That means this is a viable option for many.

Well then I retract my previous statement and say that this is a good option for people who's SC's are showing age more intensely than others. Thumbs up for the price. Good temporary solution while saving up for new seats or professional reupholstery.

personally its not for me but i think its a worthwhile thread.

If my seats were ripped up and I needed to do something while i figured out a permanent fix im quite sure I would do this over the $300 seat covers we saw recently from ebay which didnt look much better.

well they fit much better but they were still pretty bad.

Thanks OLT! Some of us not only don't have mint cars. We also have skinny wallets.
I envy lot of you, with the SCs you have, but don't see one like them in my future.

I'm thinking Mr. Horsepower on clearance at O'Reilly's would be a better choice but I am no expert on recovering seats.

Default Seat covers?

My front seats are in rough shape.. I would really just prefer to find some really nice formfitting seat covers but I'm having a hard time finding what I want.

Looking for a set that are black/tan two-tone.

Vinyl or leather.

Matching back seat covers would be a HUGE bonus.

I've checked on eBay but I have a feeling I'll get what I pay for with those $30-$50 seat covers. None of them seem to be vinyl either.. I don't really want that neoprene fabric either... Done a handful of searching but can't find anything. Price is wrong or fabric is wrong.

Where can I get what I'm looking for?

If you don't need the black, OLT started a thread about some leather seat covers at Pep Boy's that don't look too bad, and they're $48 and change.

I am still holding out for a full set including the rear bench but the bench I found in an SC400 may solve half my problem.

By the way, there are 2 types that come in that same box. One is as OLT displayed, all leather. The second has a stretchy fabric where you wrap it around the seat bottom. The second type actually fits a lot better and tighter on the seat. As well as it has a cut for the recliner handle and the seat belt buckle.

I drove with both on and the second seemed much more comfortable as it fit tight on the seat. Great stuff.

I rather do it the right way I never liked the look of seat covers always seemed so corney.

Ok thanks for that. For those who do get the concept of needing a fix on a budget hopefully this helps.
