Seat Covers

Bought a used 2007 Acura TL with 71k on the clock and in great condition. However, the front seat was pretty worn and has ripped in the months since purchase. I haven't had the opportunity to get it priced for repair/replacement, but I'm assuming it's going to run in the $600+ range. That said, I searched eBay for alternatives. Came across this company. Does anyone have them? If so, how do they look and how have they held up?

If you are going to pay $600 just get the OEM seat cover from oemacuraparts.com.

I think this is the route that I will take. I've receive quotes of about $350.00. $100.00 more for OEM that I know will match. No brainer.

is that the entire bottom piece (cushion and all) or just the leather skin? You still need to have someone install it, and from what I understand the labor is the most expensive part.

I purchased my driver's seat cover and then took it to an upholstery shop and they charged about $90 to install it since we have a power seat that needs to be removed and the re-installed.
