I had the same problem until I e-mailed through Amazon, then they responded right away. They asked me to send them a picture of my seats, which I did and they assisted me with the proper seat pattern. I ordered last Friday so now we'll see how long it takes them to ship. Anxious to see what I get.

As I posted earlier in this thread, all my emails through Amazon were responded to in a timely manner.
Perhaps they don't monitor the Lseat website email as closely.

We emailed four times in one day, "they asked me" to send a sample of my cork interior and stated "they would contact me once it has been received". I sent it out on the 10th to the address they gave me and emailed them a week later and then four days after that. I still haven't heard back as of today. I also put my contact info with the sample, somebody is not on the ball.

I haven't had any time to do anything since I got my seatcovers, so they are just sitting. They look very nicely done as they came out of the package. The address on the package label is in Houston Tx. Is there a Houston Pelican that could stop by and give the place a look, or maybe talk to someone there about color samples and communicating with customers?

I couldn't find LSeat on Amazon.com......I did find "Seatshop" is this the same company.
Because i couldn't find them I emailed directly but didn't expect a fast response after other peoples experiences here. I got a reply within 3 hours! $299 plus $39 shipping to the UK.
I had forgotten to ask about rear covers and sent another email which was answered within 15 minutes. Rears are also $299.
Could the fast response possibly be due to the interest being generated from this site??
Just waiting on someone actually fitting a set of these and commenting before i jump in.

I emailed them through Amazon, still no response. I guess they don't offer Cork and don't have enough time (30 seconds) to respond and let me know. Really wouldn't be a big deal if I hadn't gone out of my way to send them a sample at their request.

Just an FYI, this week I took delivery of some parma vinyl front skins from automation - $339. Very happy with the thickness and overall build quality.

Need to see photos of professional installs! Sounds too good to be true, but i want new seat covers!

[craig245t]

Has anyone fitted the Lseat covers yet? My SC is now off the road for the winter to replace my rusty B posts......but while it's off the road I fancy some new leather.
$598 for front and rear leather covers plus around $50 postage to the uk is really cheap.
I'm just a bit concerned about quality and fit.
Anyone...........thanks

I don't see rear covers on their website??

[craig245t]

They're not on the website. I emailed and was told they're the same price as the fronts. I thought they might be cheaper as they're smaller but you can't get much cheaper really.

That's odd. I emailed a while back (see post 62 in this thread) and they said they didn't offer matching rears.

[craig245t]

Yes, odd and possibly even a mistake. I suppose i won't know if they do or not until i order.

I thought i had read in the thread that someone had asked about rears....but as i was asking about shipping to the UK i asked about rears anyway.

Here's the brief e-mail trail.........

"How much would shipping be to Scotland in the United Kingdom?
Can you supply rear seat covers too for the 1982 Porsche 911 SC?
Thanks"

Reply was.........

"$39 for Scotland. Yes. We have rear seat covers for sell."

My emails were answered really quickly by using the link on their website, not amazon.

[salukijac]

I sent an e-mail to Lseat because I receieved a survey email asking how pleased I was with the product. I was wondering if the kits were sitting on my front door and I didn't know it. They responded rather quickly with a tracking number. My kits will be in transit today. Can't wait to get them.

Oh yeah...the e-mail exchange was through Amazon.

Here's my cashmere beige Autoberry seat cover I put on today. It's not perfect yet but I'm going to keep working with the steamer and hopefully the rest will tighten up. Autoberry doesn't sew in a layer of batting like my original covers had so I had to glue a later on the bolsters and headrest. I think once the leather shrinks back a little bit it'll look really nice. I didn't want to over do it with batting at the risk of the headrest looking more like a pillow.

Just to finish up my contribution to this thread. I've had my new vinyl covers installed and they are back in the car. For $640 total cost including professional 'coverer', I'm satisfied, but the quality may not be high enough for some. Not an exact match to the original Marine Blue, but pretty darn close. Automotion was the source.

looks good to me.

Received mine yesterday from Lseat. From order to delivery it was 20 days. Out of the bag they look pretty good and the color seems to match pretty well, the proof will be after they get installed. I'm taking mine to an upholstery shop for installation this weekend. I'll post before and after pictures after completion.

salukijac,

How does the quality of the Lseat leather feel? Is it thin or thick? Did they happen to say if the kits are sewn/manufactured locally in house?

Looking forward to pics...
