Cloth seat covers for the FRS

I have been shopping around for seat covers for the twins to keep them pristine.
But what I've found seems to be generic seat covers.
Does anyone know of any place that makes them specifically for the twins?

I've never seen cloth, but you can probably order a set from high end coach companies, but it won't even be worth the cost. Everyone goes leather, suede or alcantara. People usually spend money on upgrades, not downgrades. Katskinz may do it.
Why keep them pristine? Why?
You are better off buy a set of used ones and storing them, and enjoy the set you have.
If you must have them the other alternative is to take your seats to an upholstery shop and have them make you a set.

Overkill price, but I was considering these at one point, when I didn't think I'd go the leather heated seats factory option https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/41491

Those are actually pretty cheap @$275usd considering it is a full set including the rear.

I'd grab these if it had something more grippy in the centre. I don't want to be sliding around.

hey bro check out Katzkin, Sard, Iggee and best ones I can remember from memory are the Clazzio.

$300-500.

If you do check the member classifieds you will notice that lots of members sell their front 2 seats for about $250-350.

In other words brother, you can purchase replacements later if your original go bad. Just my own thoughts.

I always thought the same thing of my in-laws' couch. They'd buy a new couch then cover it in blankets to keep from damaging the couch.

The end result was they would either throw away or give away a couch with perfect upholstery while spending ten years sitting on some ugly old blanket.

I guess that's what you do if you're more concerned with the enjoyment of the next owner than your own.

Keep em pristine because each item has a certain value to each person.

My FRS is my Ferrari, whereas to another one of you it's the same as a Civic.

My stock seats are your Recaros or Bride seats to you.

It's just a personal/intimate issue...IMO

Brings to mind the clear plastic, aftermarket seat covers back in the 50s.

They were expensive and were cold, crinkly and slick in the winter ...... and hot and sticky in the summer ..... but you could "see" the nice seats underneath ……..


Ahhhhh........ I forgot about keeping the back seat from getting "soiled" ....

I know people with Ferraris.

They do not wrap their seats in vinyl covers.
