Iggee synthetic leather seat covers: one year on

Last year, I did a leather treatment that totally destroyed the perforated sections of my TL-S seats. IMHO it wouldn't have happened had Acura's leather been better quality, but what can I do.

I got some Iggee seat covers to cover my seats. I know a lot of people have this issue, and I'm sure many people are looking for an affordable way to bring their interior back to life. I am a snob when it comes to seat covers, but settled with limited funds on Iggee because, when installed properly, they generally looked presentable.

Here is how they fit brand new moments after installation. It *looked* like a seat cover. Huge pockets of empty space between the seats and the seat covers. Lots of random wrinkles.

And here is how they look now:

I'm a lot happier with them now. As they stretched and conformed, I readjusted the velcro on the bottom and sides to get them to stretch and conform better. The only part that hasn't conformed perfectly in where your upper back would lay, but it still looks pretty good. Stitching is all holding up. Overall, I'd recommend them to someone in the same boat as myself with their leather.

I looked through the sections and couldn't figure out where w good place would be... It isn't a 3G TL-specific product because they carry covers for nearly all models on this site. Where would you have placed this thread?

I absolutely love my aftermarket Clazzio seatcovers on my S, best interior upgrade ever.

Car Talk is for talking about cars other than Acuras.

It's still a valuable post but hopefully the mods will put it in the 3G TL section (I think that's what you have).

I don't see how it belongs there either, as this brand makes seat covers that cover all different makes and models with the same materials. This post isn't just for 3G owners.

Weak argument.

Mobil 1 makes oils for all cars. Should I go post in the Corvette forums ?

I'm thinking of getting these for my front seats. I have the quartz gray interior. I can't decide whether to get the L5 gray (seems like the obvious choice) or L6 charcoal color. http://www.iggee.com/MSProductView.a...=Acura*TL*2004

What do you think?

These actually look really good and could definitely be an option versus getting the original seats upholstered. Does it affect the heated seats at all? I emailed the company directly and they said they are fine with heated seats on.

you just to run down to your local fabric store and get a 1"X1" piece of leather and you'd be good to go.
