After market leather seats?

Not whole seats, they are premium covers that cover the entire seat, I guess you take off the old material and put on new material over seat frame is more like it.

I purchased katskin (as I mentioned above) and it's not a cover, it was a big lump of leather that I had to have an upholsterer put on.
I wouldn't recommend them though, not only have I had quality problems, but as I did more and more reading, it appears many people have issues with their quality.

12K miles on my seats no issues, they are really comfortable and they do have a warranty if there is. They useed real leather and suade and not man made.

Well, I'm almost at 12k and my paint is still perfect, I'm talking more about the long term, like my older 350. I probably started developing minor problems around 17k miles, and by 25k miles, the driver side just looked terrible on the bolsters.

But again, no need to take my word on it. A little went a long way to proving the quality of KS.

I have a milage warranty on mine so if you had problems they should fix them.

Hey so I spoke to the manager at wet okole seat covers, which I have heard a lot of great thinks about. He said that he should have the 370Z pattern on a couple weeks. They are waterproof, easy to install over your seat, and washable, so it's get if you take the Z to the beach. Anyway, if anyone is interested, I'll post it when they are available.

Would you think Classic Soft Trim is the way to go. I have a reasonable bid from them but I'm really hesitant that I'm creating a problem for myself, as the base cloth seats are fairyl nice and going with leather is not mandatory if it's going to turn into a headache.
