Default Opinion requested: Do you think these seats are 100% leather?



They look nice but Im not sure if this is how the leather vinyl looks or are these 100% leather.

I believe only the center panels are leather, that was how they were from the factory as I recall. Someone will have to chime in that has the factory leather seats as I have the "no cost option" of vinyl and cloth but I have been told that just the center panels were leather while the rest of the seat was made of vinyl. They look like great seats but seem kind of pricey to me.

by looking at the photos closely, i'm guessing the centers are leather and the outsides are vinyl, like the originals from GM. the grain appears to be different on the center panels as compared to grain on the side bolsters. these aren't bad seats, mine lasted on my 79 to 2001. not a bad deal, make sure it includes the seat hinges and hardware.

I have seen that pic many times over the last 6-8 months. It dosn't seem to matter what seat he is selling he uses that same pic. I always wondered why he did not take the plastic all the way off.

I exchanged E-mails with the seller sometime ago and the reserve on those seats is $1050.

The Last Detail sells new covers (original style leather and vinyl) mounted on the foam for less than $600, or just the covers for like $300.

This does have the case and tracks, but do you need that or can you just use the original case, buy the covers only, and thus save a ton of money?

BTW, he did say he would take my seats in trade and then the price would be $800.
