Leather Seats #112842 Feb 26, 4:55pm Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 115 UK Celica_Tsport Member 2003 Toyota Celica T-Sport Celica_Tsport Member 2003 Toyota Celica T-Sport Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 115 UK Just wondering if anyone has had their seats retrimmed in leather? I've been thinking about having mine done. I got quoted #1900 for a retrim in white leather with black jap symbols on the two front seats. Please post any pictures of anything similar or different styles of retrims. The US spec doesn't even come with real leather. So i'm assuming a lot of you have had it done. This IS synthetic plastic shit right????

I am going to pay about 600 for the whole job 1900 is way too much. IT IS WHAT IT IS AND EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING.

There are many different types of leather out there. It's not too logical to put something like lambskin leather in a sports car that costs around 20K, nor is it economically feisable.

I was just pointing out that the US spec ones (pictured at the very top) are plastic. Thats why I thought a lot of you might have had them retrimmed. The next two (I know slightly large. I thought I reduced them) are the seats in my car. I was just showing that they came stock with real leather. Anyway, what about the Carisma seats? Are they too OTT?

The shifter and the steering wheel also have real leather on them. Some of the steering wheel is a synthetic and the door inserts and the parking break are a syntheic. The leather on the seats does suck though.
