    Prepare to shell out at least 60k if you want genuine leather.

    there's leather, and there's animal ex-skin..
    some entities are passing off synthetics (sige, stylized vinyl) as real leather, as against real animal hide.
    the price tells it all.. fake leather costs 5-6K, while real leather goes 30-50K.
    but hey! fake leather requires almost no maintenance care, while real leather requires the same care as one would give his italian shoes..
    i used to have real leather, but thru the years, medyo hardenifying na yung inupuan ko (is it the leather, or am i losing weight?).. i reverted to cloth.. forever soft!

    I had mine at Seatmate. In 2009, it was 55k for my MS and this year 40k for my Altis 2014. Just a word of caution, beige really gets dirty fast. Try the black one.

    if you can afford genuine leather, then why not?

    for most people though, vinyl a.k.a. synthetic leather or leatherette, is fine for easier maintenance.

    Woah?! Ganoon pala kamahal yung genuine na leather seats?

    In terms sa comfort, mas mainit ba yung leatherette kesa sa genuine? Leatherette kasi yung pina-install ko, mejo mainit sa likod.

    Why not have a leather/leatherette seatcover made instead of replacing the whole thing?

    Its cheaper and easier to clean. And you still can preserve the original state of the cloth seats.

    Just my 3 cents

    Canvass ka rin sa Seatmate. They already installed leather seats on 4 of my vehicles from 2001.
