Anyone seen or used these leather cover?

www.great-covers.com

Found these covers this morning while searching. A good alternative to paying an arm and a leg for the factory covers. Anyone have any feedback on these?

Leatherette

You may want to consider going to a local shop and having them do your seats in leatherette. It looks just as good as the leather and won't crack. A local shop here is doing mine for $450. And it will truly be a custom fit.

They have black leatherette on that site, for $139.

Those look almost factory! Wonder what kind of durability those will have? If you get any info pass it on. Also let us know how the install goes!

Unfortunately, that is just for the front. I have a SCREW. You'd be lookin at $280 for the whole truck plus whatever they charge for shipping, plus my time. They look great though. Try em out and let us know.

Those are pictures of their covers. I called to make sure. They sent me a sample of the material and it feels exactly like leather. The middle part has holes so the material will breathe. The guy I was talking to said the covers are manufactured to the exact same specs as the oem covers so there will be no slipping once they are installed. You can't beat $300 for the whole truck, fold down console included.

It will be about a month before I get them. This will be my Father's Day gift which means I have to do really good on a Mother's Day gift.

Get'er a stripper, totally appropriate for the occasion. Did you ask them if they have the covers available for the front seats of us with a floor shifter?

Those seat covers look great. Do they just go over the original seats, or do you have to remove the original covers like you do with the OEM leather?
I think the charcoal leatherette would look great in my super crew. I asked if they would send me a sample.

Good link thanks. I might have to check those out. A decent altenative to Katskinz maybe. So the *** and lower back area are perforated(sp)?

I need to find waterproof covers that are very easy to slip on and off. I saw the ones they have on their site, but I am looking for something that don't fit as tight...just something to throw on before I go to the lake so that I dont get the leather wet when I am backing the trailer down the slip.

Any ideas?

They go over the original covers and are very tight fitting. I have to do something because my cloth seats are taking a beating. I spilled some water the other day and after I blotted it up there was a discolored stain when it dried. I hate the oem cloth.
