this makes me wonder why the radical differences in prices? even if the =
prestige (for example) kit is only seat covers, almost $500 in =
difference? thicker/better/stronger leather? better fit/pattern? I =
know just about zip as far as upholstery goes, so I haven't a clue, but =
for $800 for 2 seat covers, I'd expect pretty big things. thanks to =
dean, keith, arthur and michael for the replies. this is a lot easier =
than spending a few hours on the phone. ryan, I'll post when/if I =
actually install the leather ones.
