I wonder how they would feel like and what kind of wear you would get. It's obviously not leather so they could look crap after a couple of years but who knows.
I reckon you'd have to go and have a look at them before you buy. Who pays $550 on a chair before seing it?
I ordered a set a week or so ago, and expect them next week. I'll post a response when fitted. They are leather on the bits that touch your body, and vinyl elsewhere. This is quite a common approach, used in the Honda CRV, Oddessey as well as other vehicles. The set actually cost $640, which included transport, the extra for ruched centre panels and a 2.5% Paypal fee. Being a bit of a risk taker, I thought it was worth it. Besides, the vendors feedback is very good, so nothing ventured ...

They look pretty nice hard to tell they are covers from the angle the photos are taken, wonder if they look the same from the back. Do you know how much they are charging for the door trims?

Yeah they look OK, I'll let you all know the outcome, probably get to spend next Saturday installing them. The price of the door trims are on the E-Bay page if I recall...

Well they arrived and I spent about three sweaty hours installing them. As they are covers, they go over the fabric, and they are very tight. I think they look fine, certainly worth the money and a vast improvement on the grey velour. Not sure how much leather is actually in the product, it could be all vinyl but because of the lining it's tough to tell. However, they feel very much like the factory leather that's in my wife's new CRV, so I don't really care. The fit is good, and they look quite 'factory' as the seams etc are in the same position as the seams in the velour seats.
They look better in real life than in the photos...
