Leather seats 560, 380, 450SL

Has anyone dealt with the following?
https://www.lseat.com/products/1972-1989-mercedes-benz-r107-560sl-custom-real-leather-seat-covers-front.html

Seems very, very inexpensive for real leather seat replacement?
I read some online reviews and opinions vary though, on the whole, people seem pretty happy. Asked them for some pictures of their seats in actual cars but they just followed that up with another picture of their covers. Also they claim that their seats are for all SLs 72 to 89 but seat design changed year to year (a little anyway) with some seatbacks deeper and headrest look changes etc.

Looks as though the colors are not exact mercedes sl colors. Black might match okay, but I don't see palomino and their beige doesn't look the same.

I thought the same. They send samples for free however and have some coming. Am hoping they're close as they have no "middle red" which is the color I need. I guess one could always buy the correct leather dye from World Upholstery & Trim, American Manufacturer of Car/Auto Upholstery, Carpet, Convertible Tops, Car Seats, Headliners & Door Panel Parts for Classic European Cars like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Fiat, Ferrari and Alfa Romeo out of Santa Paula and dye them before installing. Still be considerably cheaper than the alternative.

Well....what did you do?

How does it look? How was the install?

Or did you skirt the project?
