$550 for complete replacement and installation? That seems really good. I've seen this seller on eBay before and their costs are low there as well.

It's cool to see that they offer installation. That's obviously the most difficult part to do yourself.

Someone snatch these and let me know what the quality is like . My seats are not yet ripped nor torn, but I'm always thinking ahead.

looks like a decent deal, but they don't do 04 since the stitching is different....

I’ve been over to his place a few times, pretty decent Russian guy. The covers are decent-good quality. He told me he has an Asian company mfg. the covers for him. He had a front and rear set installed at the shop the last time I was there and they looked Pretty Damn Good, especially for the price. Last I knew, they only came in black though.
Also, he only deals with 3G TL’s, so he knows his stuff pretty well.

Too far for me to drive, I'm in Texas.

Anyone ever used these? https://www.lseat.com/categories/gen...her/acura.html

I have an '04 Manual Nav, so technically not a typeS

Wrong, re-read the Craiglsist post, complete set of 2 front and rear seat including armrests $550 (with installation).

I’m pretty sure what the seller means is both front seat bottom, both front seat backs, the rear bottom and rear back along with the arm rest covers are $550 installed.

I know you think I'm wrong, but I think $550 might be his price for EVERYTHING. Obviously, the description isn't the greatest, but the selling price of his leather on eBay is dirt cheap, so keep that in mind.

You can buy an entire rear seat (top and bottom) for around $160.

Rear seat upper and bottom are relatively easy if you ever replaced rear shocks. The guy on Craigslist wants $200 for reat upper & bottom, $300 for complete fronts, $350 for complete set, front & back, upper & bottom. $550 for 2 cars. He is not offering front seat back(upper) pieces for 2007 & 2008.

Too bad he's only offering BLK color, if he had grey color available, I'd stop by and have my seat covers replaced next time I visit Oregon. Mine isn't bad at all, but I'm planning to keep it a few more years.

Really good deal.

My 06 TL's previous owner replaced just the two front seat leather upholstery and I found the receipt for it: $800 all in from a local leather shop place. My back seats are shot to hell but no need to replace it now

Long as the work is decent, that's a great deal.

autocustomleathers.com Replaced both front seat bottoms from them. Reasonably priced and highly recommended! Talk to Jerry.

I ended up lucking out and finding some seats for mine in really good shape, mine were going to need the foam rebuilt on the driver's side so recovering would have been more expensive. Seats came out of an '07 Accord that showed up at the wrecking yard a couple days before. Paid $300 total for both front seats and the lower cushion for the rear seat. They aren't brand new but are in massively better condition than what I had.
