Leather seat covers

I’m sure most of us here have seen the advertising for Ultimate Auto Trim on E-bay and in selected automotive magazines, just wondering if it’s as good as they say it is. I’m having trouble believing that it would look that good for longer than 3 days before it creases, turns and swivels like conventional seat covers. I’m just searching for some unbiased feedback as its only $500 vs. $2500 for an old fashioned re trim.

Me and a mate have been to both places to see the quality of the things they sell, the "leather" they use feels really fake and too soft to be any good.
plus its made by asians lol.

the other person who makes them whos from hoppers crossing is cheaper and it does seem alot better but he gets them made from china then sent hear, dont like the sound of that.
I only payed $1000 for all my seats and parchel shelf to be done, may aswell pay the bit extra

Any pics of your retrim?

Thanks for the feedback, I figured as much. You get what you pay for.

Spot on and seat covers will never look anywhere near as good as a re trim no matter what the ad says. I would never spend $500 on molded seat covers. I'd rather use that money to get a proper re-trim.
