I got these "leather" seats off a friend who gave them to me in swap of my fabric seats because I painted his headlight housings black. They came out of a 95 talon TSI AWD. But today Ive see a few pics of leather that dont look like my seats but look way better. The first pic is my seats, the second is ones that really look like leather. Did our cars come with a vinyl seat? my leather has little vent holes everywhere in the center where this guys is all leather. give me some info on this. thanks. :confused: mine are power btw if that matters.

edit: tuners upload page is down so i cant add pics i will when its back up...

they both look like the stock leathers, the leather they put in our cars is from a malnurished cow. Its stiff has a crappy texture and so on...I plan on swaping mine out for something else. Its not vinyl just badn quality leather....

There was a change between 95 and 96 to the seats. My leather looks different and feels different than my friend's 96 with leather. My seats feel more squishy too, his feel almost hard. Mine are power and his aren't though so I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Im thinking its because ours is alot older and has more use. Mine is soft but isnt good quality at all.

And usually a direct result of how much leather conditioner you use...if ever....

my leather is pretty soft and smooth im talkn bout the middle sections on my seats have like sweat holes in them or something where as the other dudes is all leather...why is there a diff? cuz of the year change?
 
That had the pin hole leather.

I thought it was cool. Now my brothers 1995 GS-T has solid grain leather with out the perforations.

I don't know the answer but if your car doesn't have cloth....it must be leather.

My 98' GSX seats look the same as 95' leather seats ( no pin holes ).

Good luck on finding the answer.

I have a question to the guy who had the 95 non-pinhole leather. Did you have power seats? My seats are power and have the pin-holes, my friend's 96 has manual seats and the plain leather. Maybe the power seats are a little different?
