driver seat (tan leather) bottom cover, armrest cover etc

Where can I find a good deal on a OEM style tan leather bottom seat cover and arm rest cover for my 03 Ex? I have a local guy who will install them reasonably, but he is quoting me an awful lot to purchase leather repairs the seat cover.

"The Leather Shop" also sells the fold down arm covers. They are identical to the originals. You can find them on the web .

I checked at the dealer a while ago and they were the same price as ebay. $195 for the factory fored leather cover is the going price.

Wow - I figured the dealer would be the most expensive place.

You can swap the arm rest covers from the drivers side and passenger side. If you're like me, the arm rests stay down all the time, so once you've switched them, you'll never notice the bad side.

The switch only takes a few minutes. They just pull off and slide right back on. It's like having a brand new set of arm rests.

Yep, I did that also with swap....my drivers side was really bad cracked and missing some leather, swapped it out and unless you look hard cant be seen. Now if I do the Console/Jump seat swap might have to do something different.

Really? They just pull right off? I'll have to try it when I get home. I emailed this ebay seller (http://stores.ebay.com/theseatshop?_rdc=1) a while ago inquiring about arm rests - he quoted me $50/each.

I just purchased back in december a leather bottom back and a arm rest cover all from the Seat Shop. I want to add aftermarket heaters also, so I have not got around to putting it on yet, but the quality looks to be good. Only problem I had was the back section did not have limited stiched in it. I sent it back and they had it stiched. So if you have to order a back and you have a limited make sure you tell them.

I'm trying to find an '01+ "20" to put in my Ex, so I'll have a pair of '02 tan leather armrests that are near mint. Hopefully that'll be happening soon. PM me your info and I'll let you know when I pull them and we'll go from there.
