G'day all.
Have been thinking of upgrading the stock fabric trim in my series 1 Falcon S to leather, as my front seats are looking pretty crappy atm and i hate throwover covers. Would like to get the front and back seats re-done in black leather, with perforated black centres, and navy blue double stitching. Ideally would also like to change the door inserts and armrests to match too (but this isn't so much of a priority), although my budget is tight. With my bday and xmas coming up, have been dropping a few hints to the missus, hoping she pulls thru! ;) Anyway, been looking around the internet for some reasonably priced leather covers (factory fit style ones, not throwovers) and came across these guys based in Brisbane on ebay: Proseat Auto Interior Centre, Brisbane Compared to other prices, theirs are very cheap ($320 for a front pair, or $495 for front and rear, +$35 shipping to Melbourne) Eg. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with these guys and their products? All experience feedback, good and bad, would be greatly appreciated. I ask because they have an unusually low positive feedback rating for ebay (86% or thereabouts). They are made from 'reborn leather'. Anyone have any experience with this type of leather? From the photos the seats look great, with a very genuine factory look about them, and they come with DIY install instructions. They also have a fitter based in Melbourne who can install them if I feel I'm not up to the task. Anyhow, would love to hear some stories from other AU owners or just anybody who has gone down this path of reupholstering their interiors/seats in leather, and not just from the ebay seller above. How easy are they to fit? Do they look as good as the photos? Do they feel good? etc etc... Many thanks in advance, Chris
