Actually, the seats in my 2002 pickup look as good as new.
The reason being, the sheepskin seat covers protected the original covers.
No pictures of the stock seats, but I will remove one sheepskin and take a picture of the original seat.
Like I said, they look brand new.

Course, in the 19 years I have owned this pickup, I only have 61,000 miles on it.
It was never a daily driver, as I have always had at least one other vehicle, and in a couple of instances, a couple of other vehicles.
The 66 Tbird in my signature "calguy," was one of my "extra " vehicles.

This is a picture of the stock (original)seat.
After 19 years, it looks as good as the day I bought the pickup in 2002.

I had sheepskins in my '90 Montero. I liked them.

I think they look kinda goofy, but I'm also more concerned about how comfortable I am in my car than how the seats look, so there's that.

Installed the covers in the Corvette today.
A bit yellow, but I can get use to it.
Any one who owns a Corvette C5, knows the seats are not comfortable,and with age they are less comfortable.
Many have changed out their seats for aftermarket seats, hoping for more comfort.
With these sheepskins installed, it is now like sitting in your favorite living room recliner, they are that good.
