Looks to be pretty good quality. And they have good feedback. I'd say you'd be pretty safe giving it a try since eBay offers hassle free returns in the case it isn't up to par. Of course, you'll never really know how good the quality is until its over a year old or so.

This is the one I bought. I think I got them down to about $170 shipped. The quality and thickness of the leather is far superior to the factory material. Here's the thread I made regarding the leather seat install:

Hog rings are a pain and slow going, but not difficult if you take your time. You most definitely want to use a garment steamer to rejuvenate the foam before reinstalling it. It's a night a day difference. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

I would guess a couple hours of shop time. It took me more than 2 hours but I don't do upholstery every day and I'm sure the professionals also have better equipment. I'm sure if you called a local upholstery shop they could give you a quote. This is really the way to go because if you have ripped seats you will sink down into the foam, possibly damaging the foam. A slip on cover will not preserve the foam or stop you from sinking into the seat. Plus they just don't look as nice.
