Leather seats for car question.

Hello..

I have an '02 Maxima with cloth seats. I wanted to upgrade the seating to leather. The dealership said they would do it for $1000CAD. I laughed. I've searched ebay and found this

But these are marked as "Seat Covers"

Now would that mean that I remove the cloth and replace with these? Or would I put these over the cloth?

What is the difference between leather seats and leather seat covers?

And will these covers have any impact with the seats when heated seats option is on?

Covers go over the cloth.
These are a rich soft simulated leather material

No wonder they're 40 bucks.

lol, why would you waste the money and time simulating leather material, when the real thing isnt really that expensive

Do you have kids or pets?


BTW I have an 02 Max and leather isn't that great but it is better than cloth when it comes to cleaning up spills. I think custom soft leather is usually one of the best aftermarket replacements but it is about $1K USD. You could always check the .ORG for sales/group buys/advise regarding aftermarket leather.

I hate leather seats. They're always hot or cold. They're never comfortable.

Personally, i think its much more comfortable, easier to maintain, gives the car a nice smell, and it just looks better.

Yes, I have several cats, but I'd rather be comfortable on my couch rather than worry about hair.

I have a larger dog who like to go to the park and he occasionally gets dirty. Leather is a lot easier to clean than cloth.
Unlike cats which are usually transported in a small cage or a tied-up burlap bag my dog has to have a little room and slobbers.
 
PLEASE, DO NOT GET THOSE SLIDE-ON COVERS.

I have a '96 maxima, and I made a mistake and ordered these ebay leather seat covers. All I can say is luckily I sold them back on Ebay with minimum loss. But they were effin hideous.
