iggeeseatcovers SYNTHETIC LEATHER SEAT COVERS, custom armrest, and steering wheel,,

I recieved my seat covers last night and quickly installed them, they fit great, not as tight as my old Wet Okoles but they look great. Now my only problem was the armrest, it came with a zipper cover, but I use my cupholder and zippers are not for me, sooo I cut and stictched on part of the cover the kit came with, I also picked up one of those do it yourself leather steering wheel covers from pepboys and gota sewwin..

Seat covers took less than an hour to install,,
Custom Armrest cover took an hour to make & install,,
The Steering wheel cover took 4 hours to sew because the string it comes with is too weak and I kept snaping it so I had to get some plastic like string,,

How do the seat covers compare to actual leather? Enjoy the comfort of leather, but hate how it maintains temperature (EG: freezing seats in the morning)

They do get cold but warm pretty quick just by sitting on them, They look like leather but the texture is more visible, not as smooth as leather, though not as hard as leather tends to get in the cold. For them to be true leather they really need the leather smell and for the price I might have been able to go out and find used explorer seats that maybe still have that smell and heat built in. I can mail you a small leftover sample from when I made the armrest if you would like. Personally I would have preferred real leather, though I don’t like the thought of buying used seat, nor spending a grand to get new or reupholstered ones.

I’m judging it compared to the leather in my mother's Mercedes Benz and now her HHR and my father's Impala,,

I just hate how FREEZING COLD the steering wheel is in the morning.

Leather or Not?

Pick the Frauds!

Under normal lights you dont see it, just the flash brings out the blue
