    Hey People,

    Just keen on some thoughts about getting these custom seat covers off ebay!

    Basically keen to know if anyone has brought these before, or if you think the price is such a rip-off, or would it be worth the money.

    I looking at the full seat, front seats, rear seat and doors!

    Just opinions!

    yeah some of the people's choices are shocking...

    yeah id do them myself, they say they supply a diy guide... and i doubt there any stitchin involved, its probably just take the old ones off and put new ones in... may just need to know how to use a staple gun?

    there's a seller that does the whole kit for $600. It's a full replacement kit (leather look, not actual leather) including the door inserts. To be honest I've always wanted to buy them. A professional auto-trimmer should be able to change them over quickly and easily. Should cost less than $1,000 all up, in my opinion. For full leather, including your choice of colour and stitchin, sounds like a good deal to me. ;)

    EDIT: Oh, and get the Holden Emblem done in the front seats. The value it will add to the car would be at least $1,000-$2,000. Brand new interior... can't complain about that. :D

    I like the look of the ones in the first post. If anyone goes and gets these, can I suggest they make a tutorial on how it's done, or at least place a post letting us know how easy/hard it is and any pointers?

    I've also seen some sheepskin covers which don't stain well so unless you get a dark set, you're gonna risk having covers that look like the dogs breakfast. Fabric covers are the most lookalike to factory original. Not too sure about leather cos the summers here can get pretty hot. I got myself a set of neoprene covers for my Colorado here - https://dingotrails.com.au/product-category/seat-covers/holden/holden-colorado-rg-apr12-now/. Very quick n easy to install didn't need a staple gun haha
