Default Seats for $89..what gives?

Saw these on ebay, finish doesn't seem to be that great, but $89 for the pair? Anyone know the story on this place?

Why is the premium leather "forwards and backwards"?

I asked the seller a few Q on color combos and never received a reply. So Ill wait for a Renner to buy and post thier opinion on them. They do look nice though, and would look GREAT in my 993.

You drive a $30K+ 993---why skimp on **** seats? Buck up and get some Recaros or something similar.

Don't seats have to perform well in the event of an accident? At this price, you've got to wonder if they've been tested at all.

I put a set of similar looking quality (not from eBay but local) and the 'leather' was off some synthetic cow or, horse, or other vinyl wearing animal, the trackers were a little scetchy.. if the Miata had not a firewall RIGHT behind the seats I'd have left them in the boxes that went in the trash. They were OK for a $2000 car....

If a deal is too good.............
