    Like Craig said, it's not leather, it's vinyl. The description is wrong, these cars never came with leather seats. And to echo what others have said, I wouldn't waste money on a torn seat. Your money would be better spent on re-covering.

    ohh thanks for the info. but its not torn that badly. would you guys do it if your back seat is really bad and its only 40 bucks for a grabber back seat. i have seen a pair on ebay just like this for 149$.

    I believe it's an LDO seat, not Grabber. I understand where your comeing from, can always spend a few hundred later to get one redone, but need something for "right now".

    Why do you ask questions then question the answer? This is a vinyl covered LDO rear seat ..

    Rear seats generally only suffer two types of damage ... Sun damage causing dry rot on top and cigarette burns from front seat drivers flicking ashes out the window. Rear seats are easy to find in better condition than that ... of course if you want an LDO rear seat it may be a little tougher.

    well the seats are leather i own them and are only damaged because the person that owned the car was a carpeter and trew his tools in the back and put 4 lil scratches in it.
