since I want leather seats for my car and cant find some....I found this on Ebay, I though first that those would be ugly cheapy covers but I realised that those are custom made covers made to direct fit the car they are designed for...the results are impressive IMO.....they dont make covers for our cars..but im gonna ask if they can make some....since they say we should ask with our vehicle specs if we dont find our model ...IMO these are much better than stock clothes seats....and the prices arent that bad.....

my taste would be all black (since we can make color combination...which im not really a fan of)


what do you think

There are $60 ones off ebay too, sysnth leather cover, and they dont look bad at all, fits well cept the back you need to make an easy tiny adjustment for the seatbelt. look at Jfrost's car and you see how it looks like.

I really dont think you can compare the Jfrost seats to those im talking about in term of quality-look

(I know the last picture isnt a Celica...but I picked one that looks like)

to me the difference is HUGE!...it's hard to tell that those are only covers! them seems like real brand new leather seats

I just called them and ask if they are willing to build a set for me and the guy told me that they dont have covers for our cars right now...but his boss is checking for the seats pattern....he will call me back to let me know if they can do them or not....keep you updated, for those interested

Those look awesome Keep in mind the pics of mine were when they werent attached, i just threw them on there to get pics of em and to make sure they fit. Although its not quite as tight as those on there, i think mine came out well...I was planning on adding some velcro to help make them as tight as possible, but havent gotten around to it yet. If you have the money and these guys will do it, then go for it. But i gurantee that the fitment wont be what your expecting...

Well those are nice, and if you have the money go for it. I have a leather interior and are in mint condition. I got the ebay one for the sole purpose or preserving the leather. If I could I would just take off my covers cause leather is XD! but since my car has now become a commuter car, I have to save the leather somehow. So I just got the ebay one and made them fit. They fit but with needed minor modification in the back. One I fitted them, I had to do a lil more modfication to make it a "tight fit" as if the cover were an actual skin of the seats.

maybe if someone from California is interested...he or she can go up there and show the car and ask

think you could snap a pic? my stock leather seats have a square foot ripped off. even the ebay covers if tight enough would look way better...

FYI, I bought those exact seat covers for my 4runner and they werent bad. They looked great. But I didnt like the fact that there was a huge gap in the middle of the seat between the cover and original seat. Factory seats are much better.
