    For others considering aftermarket leather,
    I got the leather set from an ebay seller. He list for $540, but if you call him direct, he'll sell it for $470.
    Nice quality, as good as OEM. Installation is more work than I expected. I have no experience with upholstry. If I wasn't half way thru it, I would definitely have sent it out. On the positive side, it is a lot nicer than the OEM fabric. :)

    Can you please post a link or the name of the seller? Sounds interesting even though you mentioned it was a difficult install - I'm into doing difficult things.

    Thanks.

    AliLeather is his ebay ID. you can search "Pruis leather" under parts and accessories.

    The install is not overly difficult, but takes more time than expected.

    If interested, after I'm done I can tell you what part is the most work. But it is NICE!!

    I was about to buy those until the seller emailed me back telling me that it should be professionally installed and it would approximately cost $350!

    I think I can find cats-skin leather installed for around $900-1000 in LA.
