deos anyone know where these can be found? i can only find them for more than i can get a real leather int. from a part out for.

do u think the 7g one f/s on here would fit? are the seats that much different from 7 to 8g i think the back seats probably a little smaller right?

The Katzkin leather interior is not a pull on, it's an exact fit for the seats they were made for. The 7g seats are shaped different, even though the seats might bolt onto the 8g. This means that the 7g seat covers will not work for the 8g. What you can do is, find some 7g seats and put them in your 8g (I believe the front ones fit without modification), and then put the katzkin seat covers on them. This might actually work to be cheaper than buying the leather covers for the 8g.

Personally, for a car with over 100,000 miles, I would recommend going for the iggee ones which are pull on and not that expensive. You will need the money later on for maintenance parts (like a radiator or an IAC) which tends to go bad on our 8gs.
