    my answer: in black, and swap that roundel for one about 1/4" diameter- then, yes.

      Nah, i dont want to wear someones ass sweat that has now permanently embedded itself in the seat for some 20+ odd years. Not to mention it would be thoroughly coated with human slime. But the idea is nice.

                I'm sure they have to steam them and all that shit, long as it's clean I would be down.

                  Well in this day and age wearing a leather jacket = douche, make that a leather jacket made from european car leather = super douche.

                  haters gonna hate.

                  hipster cause recycled leather lolwut.

                  Thats exactly how I felt, until I saw the price lol. If price were reasonable I would rock it.

                              $1600 for some old seat leather and an oversized emblem? Shoot, i'd rather just make a cape out of my crusty old seats and call it a day.
