    Anyone have experience with them? I'm replacing seat covers on 1993, and I've heard the ebay sets are the right tan/camel color.

    I got my new skins from them last year and was extremely pleased with them. Thumbs up from me.

    It's holding up very well after a year and a half. The seats could use a good cleaning, but the leather is showing virtually zero wear on the typical spots.

    Did you do them yourself? My foam is disintegrating where the leather has ripped, I've wondered whether the foam comes with the new leather, I assume not... or if it is a better idea for me to find a good shop that can take care of all that for me.

    I did mine myself, but my foam was in decent shape. It's tedious but not wildly difficult. No, the leather does't come with new foam, and I'm not sure where one would get replacements. If your foam is especially crappy, you might be able to cut out the bad spots and re-pad it yourself. The thing to watch out for is the embedded wire inside the foam. The leather skin attaches to these wires, and if the foam is really deteriorated, the wires can and will pull out of the foam. If this happens, the upholstery won't fit snugly on the seat.

    Another vote for the quality of these skins.
    I have yet to finish install of my new seat skins due to some wear on the OE foam...and I'm lazy. However, the general fit for seats in good shape looks pretty darn good. Customer service was darn good, as well.
