IDK about our Dodge seats, but I had a local guy, knew his son from football, estimate my backseat in the nova at about 6-800 bucks. He does top quality work though. Like show stuff. So IDK if that was a good price or not, lol. Expensive, but like I said, the examples I saw were for classic muscle cars that enter shows. So it aint a bad deal if you look at it that way.

I'm getting my new covers in tomorrow. $736 shipped. It actually came out to be almost as expensive as getting the multicolored cloth parts of my seats replaced. So, I figured, why not get some leather.

I'll show some pics when they come in and are installed. Good luck.

Okay, got the upholstery in from UPS today. Very good quality. They probably wont get installed until the weekend, but they are very nice. It also came with material to replace the cloth door panel inserts. I'll take some pics of the material tonight.

They're full replacements. You pull the original covers off and get bare foam. You then slip the new leather on, zip it up and go. For the center console, everything is included, except the tools to place it on. I believe the only difficult part is the top, but I haven't looked into how it installs, since I've only done the back so far. I got two-toned dark charcoal and smoke for my charcoal interior and it is a perfect match. I'll post the pictures of the back tomorrow.

A guy from 350z-tech made a write up of their experience with leatherseats.com and I think it reflects my opinion pretty well.

Hey, no problem. You can't beat the prices from this place. The people there are very friendly, by the way.
