I was searching for leather to replace the fabric on the seats in my car and came across this:

Has anyone had any experience with leather car seat covers that just go over your existing seats? It looks good but it sounds like a bad idea...

Wow, those pictures don't make the wraps look all that good.

One of my friends had his dealership install pre-made leather wraps over the stock cloth seats. It looks way better than the link that you showed above, but not 100% like stock leather. But I have to say, this guy's car is one of the most comfortable seats I have sat in, but didn't provide very good grip when turning hard because the leather would shift a little bit.

be careful if your camry has seat mounted side air bags.

You bring up a good point about the covers slipping... Let's just say all my passengers wear a seat belt when they ride with me so I'll probably just go 100% and get the fabric switched out completely. Thanks for the input!

Then you should be fine with that. But will the leather match the rest of your interior?

I believe so but if it's gonna move around while I drive then I'll pass anyway. I saw a post where someone actually removed the fabric and replaced it with leather and it looked great. It cost a little more and it's a hassle to install but it looked the same as if the car came with leather seating.

does your 2002 have side airbags? if not then you should be fine with any seat cover available.
