Installed. The leather looks decent, but in general I have a few complaints about it. One arrives folded in the box, so expect creases and things to show. Photos are misleading. It will not match this clean one. Also, the straps are incredibly poor quality for what you pay for them. In the video, the straps that pull under the chair use a slide buckle, which appears to be standard. In the model I received they use side buckles. The problem is these side buckles have to be the cheapest I've seen. Some of them were so loose that they would not close. They are made from the cheapest and thinnest plastic which when attempting to tighten the straps once fastened breaks the plastic bar holding the strap. Then it's useless and I had to tighten and knot them. For what you pay for them I don't understand why they have to use the cheapest buckles in the world. Buckles are cheap, especially in large quantities. The rubber bands are also a little useless. The idea is that you attach this little metal hook to it, pull it under the seat and hook it to "something". Good idea, but what should I connect this to? Loose cables under my driver's seat? Foam on the back seat? If the elastic was 2 inches longer, I could stretch it to the other side of the seat and hook it to the rails or hooks built into the seat frame, but they only stretch about halfway, so I didn't do anything to the front seats. In the back I hooked some straps but it's not perfect. Also the leather on the back has a huge hole around the seat belt buckles for some reason. It seems unnecessary and doesn't look good. Everything else, the buckles go through a gap anyway in the seats. Eventually I purchased this item which said it was specific to my car model and year not a generic seat cover. But the included armrest cover is completely useless. See photo. It just looks like a universal suitcase and doesn't fit in my armrest. Kind of a waste considering I have to buy a separate armrest cover which adds to the overall price.
