this makes me wonder why the radical differences in prices? even if the
prestige (for example) kit is only seat covers, almost $500 in difference?
thicker/better/stronger leather? better fit/pattern? I know just about zip as
far as upholstery goes, so I haven't a clue, but for $800 for 2 seat covers,
I'd expect pretty big things. thanks to dean, keith, arthur and michael for
the replies. this is a lot easier than spending a few hours on the phone.
ryan, I'll post when/if I actually install the leather ones.

Just called AutoMat...the following are their prices for a TR3 in (all) leather:
Seats - $800
Door panels - $400
Rear "seat" - $300
Rear bulkhead - $300
Wheel wells - $170

Above prices are list. They're having a "sale" at 20% off these prices. Don't
know for how long.
