. . . or Naugahyde. I wonder how many Naugas you have to skin for each seat?

Obviously you have never been to a Nauga ranch, average low back seat requires thirteen to eighteen color matched Nauga's that have the same breed date so that color, elasticity and skin texture is the same. High back seats can use as many as thirty little Nauga's for each seat.
Now consider that two buckets need to match that is a lot of Nauga's, then add in a back seat or two and PETA would pull their hair out over your seat upholstery.

No, back 40+ years ago knew this guy names Rex K, he was from Reston VA, told a story about Nauga's, could wind you into the story to the point you actually believed it was true, he was a funny guy. Wish I had a recording of him telling the Nauga tale.

There's no way those are leather for $80/pc
i agree i doubt if they are leather either but what caught my attention - they are 19 inches wide so should fit, they recline foward and back and they look pretty good. the bonus they are $80. a piece and that includes shipping, i'll let you know it was those or smittybilt and these won i should get them in a week.

Can't wait to hear how they work out for you...I checked out the link and they look pretty good...like you said, the measurements seem correct and the fact that they recline is a bonus also...

I agree, it looks like it may be a good deal all the same. I'm glad you ordered them, please report back on the quality and fit when you get them. And while it doesn't look like leather, you never know.

went to take out trash and almost tripped over two large boxes in front of my door, yes my seats have arrived yes they aren't leather but at $80 i really didn't think they were. they stitching looks good and they recline backward and forward , they have two bolts at the rear underneath and two brackets but don't see a problem with a little modification hopefully in a day or two if weather doesn't get bad i can slide one in just to get a idea how they will look. i have a lot of interior work so i won't mount them till i'm near finished to keep from ruining them.

Anyone know sources for seat foam replacement. My typical sources don't carry a100 seat foam. I can make my own if need be.

Google is leading me to believe that the Cynos is possibly very closely related to the Paseo from the early-mid 90's. I'm going to keep an eye out next time I'm at pick-n-pull

I am going to keep an eye out for them also, good looking seats.
I'm not sure what the width of the seats are but they look like they have room on either side of them to clear the dog house and door.

They are a bit tight - the arm rests clash with the side cushions when the seats are all the way forward...so closing the door means sliding the seat backwards.
If I could do it again, I would choose a different seat.
