I saw these leatherette seat covers on Ebay and wanted to see anyone has tried these out yet? They look exactly like the stock covers but I wonder what they fit like. eBay Motors: 2001-2008 HONDA FIT SYNTHETIC LEATHER SEAT COVERS (item 270360252625 end time Apr-16-09 19:21:01 PDT)

compared to mugens or coverkings how is this alot of money? and these are the real deal, not just pull overs. installation should only be around 200-300 dollars so that doesn't sound to bad to me.

It says in the title seat covers??? Mugens are seat covers as well. so yeah they are cheaper. but $200+ for installation on seat covers is absolutely expensive.

Those look pretty good actually. When you consider the cost of a full leather install is anywhere from $1200-1400 depending on location (I paid $1400), its probably not a bad deal. I'd keep looking to find someone who has them to see what the fitment is like tho. The heating element option is nice too.

They are seat covers. You take off the old seat covers and then install these over your seat foam

. So you do need these installed by a upholstery shop. Where Mugens just slip over your oringinal seats. So IMO this looks like a cheapier alternative then getting Katzkins. Of course it is synthetic leather like most cars these days, not real leather.

I agree with you that it is a good price. I wonder if your are Katzkins or custom made because they fit really good in yours. So I am thinking about trying out the ebay ones and the sellers has some really good reviews. But my only delimma is that I don't come back to the states until june so it would suck if I ordered these and they don't work. I probaley wouldn't beable to return these then if has been that ago that i ordered them. But we will see I have a few upholstery guys that I am waiting on info from.
