Default custome seat coverings???

I want to get some leather seat covering for my civic, and i am wondering if it will feel as comfortable and look as pimpin' as original leather seats...
and would it feel loose when I sit on them??
here are some I found on ebay. are they priced right? like, what kind of price should I be expecting from leather seat converings? on scale of 1-10, how easy are they to install?? I'm a super noob at these kind of stuff...

don't get those cheap ones, a family member got those for me, i put them one so they wouldn't feel bad but took them off after a little while, they are crap. the other ones look nice but it looks like a lot of work but i think they would come out nice with a little patience.

just get the oem ones recovered in leather... i'm gonna assume you have a 7th gen because of that first link. you can always get rsx seats. probably the easiest option, especially if you have a black interior. the back ones even fit with some modification.

I can`t imagine that seat covers are going to have good fitment... I just forsee those slipping around.

yeah they fit 7th gens... pretty much a direct swap. the rear seats requiresome modification though, i don't know what all is involved but ithas been done, there are diy's floating around somewhere. 7th gen civic si (ep3)seats fit as well, i personally prefer those over the rsx seats but thats just my 2 pennies.

Basically what I want this thing to be under 80 bucks and I want those coverings to fit TIGHT, and NO sliding around (as if it were real leather)

can you guys help me find a link or two?? and BTW, is there a significant difference in seats between 6th, 7th and 8th generations or I can just buy whatever and it would fit my car??

BTW, whats the big deal with synthetic leather??? that's the kind that's OEM use for REAL leather seats right??
