Great Quality Original Seats...good deal?

Okay, I just purchased these seats from ebay...the whole set for $205.00 Did I get a good deal? I mean, I think so, because around here, the upholstery shops all want around 300 buck PER SEAT to recover with new padding....and these are so awesome!!!

And here's a pic of them installed...they look absolutely marvellous!!! Makes the whole car seem newer! Now all I need is new carpet, headliner and door panels to make it seem like I'm riding back in the 80's!!!

Though I am no specialist in fabrics I think I can say its not tweed, just the same thing as in other seats with other colors.
