New seat covers
 
My 01 4.4i driver's seat is starting to look a little crappy. I was scouting around the net for some seat covers but I figured it'll cost me for the shipping. SOOOO! I dropped by this local seat cover maker who works on car interiors for the car shows and without batting an eye the lady rep says..."We can do it! What design would you like?" I tell her and her master cutter that I want a look as close as possible to the original. Nothing on the headrests, just the front seats to protect them from further deterioration. That was Wednesday afternoon near closing time and she says, "Come back Friday afternoon and we'll install it."

And here it is, synthetic leather seat covers for less than $80. What do you guys think?

They look nice, but why didn't you just use leather dye on the seat bolsters?

Thanks! That was an option but the shop told me that they couldn't guarantee a color match.

ummm they actually look pretty good. If they arent avail online, lets get a few more made and sell on ebay LOL.

I've always liked the interior of the Range Rovers with the piping on the seats (tan seats black piping etc).
