Hey everyone, theres a place on ebay, under Car, patrs, trim ect, (i don't know how to post the link up here sorry) they sell re-trims for your seats made from re-born leather, my question is, has anyone ever brought or seen someone who has these (these arent leather seat covers, there an actual re-trim) i've seen the pictures of cars fited with them on thier link, and they look really good. They say you remove your old trim, and then fit the new one, say;s it comes with instructions on how to do so, but i dont quite understad how the trim would go tightly into each little crease/insert on the seats, without having to be sown in thier. They have mostly positive feedback, apart from a few people who bagged them out after tying to fit the trim straight over the top of thier old one:bang: but for $690 delivered, they'll give you front and rear trim plus they will do all 4 door cards aswell included in this price. Basically i dont want to shelf out $700 and they turn out to be ****. Anyone with info on this who could help would be great. I've sent them an email a few days ago, but i'm still waiting on a reply about fitting porcedures

Leatherette from what i have read is different from reborn leather, if you read my post in the link provided i found a little bit of info on the subject:)

According to what i have read on the subject leatherette is mainly made from a plastic based product whereas reborn leather is actually made by using REAL leather!
