Aftermarket leather

I put in leather over the weekend, it was pretty easy except the center fold down console and the back rest on the back seat, have to dismantle for those. It looks and feels better than factory leather. I had gotten in my truck witha screwdriver in my back pocket about a week ago and HAD to replace my cloth interior. I got it on ebay for $470 including shipping. What a deal..... If you are thinking of leather, this was one heck of a deal...

I got the same covers a few months ago and I totally agree. MUCH better quailty than factory. Pretty easy to install also. Once a month or so make sure you coat them with some leather conditioner. I would recommend them to anyone.

wow...these are pretty cool...I'm planning on keeping the truck for a while and I figured at some point I would put something like this on...but I thought they would be more expensive.

Thanks for the info guys!!

wow this is awesome....i think im going to pick some up for my 06. I wanted the sport and didnt get leather for that reason. This looks like my answer. Does everything fit snugly and align like a factory stock leather seat would? Just looking for honest opinions b/c i am very picky....do all the wrinkles and stuff come out?...thanks, Jason

no...if you search ebay for the 06 they have a seprate section for them. I just found out that it says they do not work on Sport trucks. I emailed them to find out why and if they would be coming out with a version for them. Here is the link for the 06s..Jason

I put some pictures in my gallery if you want to see what it looks like installed. I have not done the back of the back seat yet cause I need to pull out the whole bench. I will do it this week some time.

I bought from the same seller too! Great seller and product. Easy to install, just take your time and all snaps in nicely. Just like the gentleman said, the center console slowed me down also. I overcame it at the end.

Very nice!!
I got mine on ebay a couple of months ago for $400 from a guy called beckcrew. Beck Dodge. They are OEM Dodge leather that you would get if you ordered leather from the dealer on an SLT. I think I might like you colors better!!!
Cheers
Mike
