Mazda5 Leather Seats?

[huesmann]

2012 with cloth seats (Sport?). Were leather seats a USDM option in 2012, and if so, what trim level did they come on?

Otherwise, are there any options for a DIYer, other than Katzkins?

Are you looking for leather seats for the looks or looking to install front seat heating?

Look and feel (I know people have opinions on leather). I am going to install front seat heating at some point, leather or not.

I found that type s "synthetic leather covers" look great, fit perfectly, and allow easy access to the bucket seat storage.
If I wanted to go all leather, I would probably go for Katzkins.

Are those actual upholstery, or just covers (over the existing uholstery)?

These are just the covers, not the upholstery. A cheaper alternative to reupholstering.
