Default Leather Seats

Hey guys,

I have a 2012 with cloth seats. I've also got a dog that loves to ride in the car. I'd love to get my hands on some GT Premium leather seat covers, but I'm open to other options. I'm trying to buy a house right now so money is a little tight. Looking for advice. Not really to keen on covers, but open to some if they are very high quality.

Thanks.

Keep an eye on Craigslist for someone selling the stock ones.

eBay had 2011 leather seat skins for $300 OE.
They are a pain in the *** to install yourself, though.

^this. I swapped my cloth out, it's not necessarily difficult, just tedious and tough on the hands

Saleen puts their own custom seat covers on the cars they convert, they sell the factory leather covers at the link below. $500 seems kind of pricey though. Maybe better off to throw a sheet on the seat before taking rover for a ride.

I was thinking the Saleen's were over a grand.... and you still need to by the extra foam to fill (they aren't for stock foam). Roush does the same thing... very spendy.

OEM covers would be the ticket if you'd like to do it yourself. Like Alrc said, it just takes some time to do well. Don't rush it, and grab a buddy to help stretch it over. I've done a few sets, and alone is a PAIN.

I just bought some on ebay from a dealer and paid $277 + $20 shipping. Paid another $336 to have them installed. Well worth it. Beware of the seller that says he is out of Houston. He is really from China. And he has changed names but it is still the same person.

Here is the screen name lcfordparts

Here is the item number Item number: 180804014136

Good luck.
