i think your only choice is a custom route. the only leather ones i've seen on a del sol were either custom, or the REALLY HARD TO FIND UBER RARE OEM leather

Sorry but I gotta ask, did you line your back area with tin foil? Because that's what it looks like lol nah I know its dynamat or something.

I Saw those but am looking for an oem style skin, I want to replace the fabric on mine with some new skins preferably leather I figured there would be a few sites that offered them.

Yea I can have a place in town do some custom ones for far less that I would think, since I still have my originals to use as a guide, hell I could do them myself if I wanted to but I don't think Im good enough to do it on my own

Have you looked at the WetOkole seat covers? Pretty pricey, but nice.

Everything I've read in the 9 years I've owned my Sol says that OEM = fabric. There are some very nicely done dealer-installed leather "options" out there, and of course others of varying quality, but even if a dealer hires someone to do a fantastic leather upholstery job, that doesn't make it OEM.

Personally, as someone who slapped OEM covers over his OEM seats because I had a hole in the driver's side bolster, if that's what you want to cover up - I wouldn't just slap a cover on it. The hole will continue to grow even though you've got new fabric on top of it, because the tear is still getting stressed, the foam is continuing to get stressed, and what you end up with is a bunch of ultra-finely ground foam powder leaking out from the bottom of the cover, through the cover, around the sides of the cover. It just turns into an ugly mess. Either get new seats or get the existing ones reupholstered.
