Default Black leather / red stitched interior.

Well, since my front and rear seats never matched at all (all different shades of black/some misc. dark color). I saw these replacement seat covers on ebay, basically you take the stock cloth off, and use any rails/springs on the new covers and secure it all down. They actually look pretty damn nice, and my mission of having a matching interior.

Important notes, you have to consider the condition of your cushions. Front uppers had wear from getting in/out of the car, so you might have to get some foam/other matierial to fill it in (if you want to). Also, they provide extra spots so
you can add extra rails/springs to secure the seat covers down (optional, but they make it fit a little better).

Also, its not something for the weak of heart. I recovered seats before so I had a idea of what I was getting into. If you have time, and don't mind looking at your seats ripped apart then this'll be a fun mod. Or you can probably take it somewhere and have it put in. I'll post up pics up either today or tommorow, got em on my BB jus gotta upload em.

Those look pretty good. How much did they cost? Also, do they have a version for 5th gen seats?

Yeah, and I did the fronts out in the sun (was like 70-80 the other weekend). I found out that I goofed on the front tops, had them switched around. Guess the bolsters are slightly different. That and I should've filled them with some more foam, or gotten better ones (my stock foam was kinda crappy) or try and swap the driver n passenger top foams around. They feel 1000x better than before so far.

Got them offa ebay actually, http://stores.ebay.com/realleathers thats the ebay store.

no way i'm going to pay 400 bucks just for the seat cover. They look nice and all but not for that much money.

Well good luck finding 4 matching leather seats in good condition at a junkyard for less... Its not your usually badly fitted AutoZone seat cover. These are custom fit covers made to replace your fabric. And I say again, $400 also includes the rears...

Not bad. The fitment looks decent for ebay stuff.

It is ebay stuff, but I think the main issue would be the foam itself. After I had my covers off, noticed the foam wasn't in tip top shape. If I was going to do it over, I'd add foam in the spots that were lacking a bit. Thanks anyways.
