Hyundai Getz leather seats, here we come!

Gina, my Hyundai Getz Manila, is going to get leather seats! Woohoo!

(Admittedly, they’re not real leather seats, but I don’t want real leather- wawa naman the baka who dies just so Gina looks good – because it can get boiling hot in the summertime.)

I passed by MG Square along Araneta Avenue in Quezon City today, based on recommendations at this Hyundai Getz Philippines forum. The gentleman who assisted me, a suave, confident salesperson named Rey, ran me through the benefits of purchasing made-to-order (synthetic) leather seats from him. Among them:

• Their Hyundai Getz leather seat covers are double-stitched for greater durability.
• Their Hyundai Getz leather seat covers are tailor-fit for the size and design of Gina’s Hyundai Getz Manila seats.
• Their Hyundai Getz leather seat covers are designed in such a way they look like upholstering, not seat covers. It’ll look like Gina came with them!
• They can have the Hyundai Getz leather seat covers done by Sunday. That’s blazing fast by my standards.

I wanted to haggle, but I’m terrible at haggling. One time, I was so flustered by this shifty vendor in Greenhills that I haggled for a higher price! (The shoes were being offered to me for Php480; I offered Php500!)

I also did a quick pass at the Ace Hardware store beside SM Makati City two nights ago, and they offered me a similar product for Php3,900. I guess I just saved me Php400.

Rey gave me his number, but genius that I am, I left it in the Toyota Revo (which I drove yesterday since I still don’t have license plates, OR and CR). I’ll post it for all you interested Getzers who may want to have Hyundai Getz leather seat covers made.
