You may want to check into the saard seat covers! I put a set of these in and you would think they are the original seat coverings. Much cheaper than redoing the cloth.

Smile Cheaper in Canada?

Purchased my 2016 FRS last year with 12,000 KM for $17K CDN.

I guess in US numbers that's 7500 Miles and $13K.....

Private sale....I wouldn't buy from a dealer if my life depended on it!
