Found them in a salvage yard in Greensboro. Just sitting and collecting snow. The yard sold them to me for $60 for the pair. And I can get the trouble spots fixed up for around $200. I think I'm gonna melt

leather S14.

When I found them, the car had no windows and snow and ice had formed some spots on the backs of the seats, and they were covered in dirt and clay.

I've given them three cleaning sessions, and the suppleness has started to return to the leather, and they shine like new again.

The upholstery shop I'm using is going to replace the center sections that shrunk with a grey leather to match the panel inserts of my interior, as well as replace the few cracked bits.

Thankfully, only one big piece is going to need to be replaced. On the driver's seat the large black piece that goes from the center section to the top has a few signs of stretch where the headrest mounts are.

I'm sure your boyfriend will love them Bart

Why leather ? won;t they be slippery.. and freezing cold when you've just got in the car in winter, or bloody hot and sticky in the summer?

i've lived with leather seats for many years now, and i've honestly never had that much of an issue with them.

and the S14 seats are grippy enough that I don't slide out of them.
