We had a guy round doing the leather sofas - repadding and cleaning and he mentioned that he used to work in auto retrimming and restoration etc, so I asked him about my car seats which were damaged in transit and are yet to be fitted.

I got them back today and couldn't be more pleased with them, it wasn't cheap (200 bucks) but a great result.

Those are ProSeat's yeah? $600 new so pretty pricey. Are there any other companies out there that do something similar to them...? or can anyone find used proseats covers?

Not sure if we're talking about the same thing. The leatherette trim is $600 supplied, not fitted. Gotta do the rest yourself of course or get it fitted by someone else. Anyway, if you meant $600 was cheap to get it supplied, I'm still inclined to agree, either way everything is "cheap" to an Australian whenever everything else is overpriced xD

They were $330 a set back then, old mate Max founded his business Proseat here with FTO covers. Yep they're a c**t to put on, but drive into an auto trimmer & tell me what he quotes you for a full leatherette retrim. You'll be up for $1500 - $2000.
Some of the original 04 & 05 installs are starting to look a bit tatty, but to redo the lot for $600 & have it last another decade... money well spent if you ask me!

Yes, I am familiar with the old group buy... but it was a while ago so I wasn't sure if you still remembered ;D. Yeah, no disagreements here the seats look like they'd be very finnicky to put on, but it definitely is worth it considering they'll last you a decade. I'm still tossing up between getting Recaros or Leatherette retrim at the moment. Not sure which I'll decide to go for.
Edit: And yes Ben yours does look amazing, I'm very jealous >:(
