Yeah, they are not actual leather, its PVC leather/Vinyl. And you can't customize the colors, but I like the stock seat colors.

I don't mind that it's not actually leather. Even in the BRZ the leather isn't actual leather from what I've heard. Subaru hasn't been using imitation leather a lot since the early 2000's i've heard.

With Clazzio, you do have a choice of 8 different colors, and to be used at your taste buds on side bolster, center, and stitching as you like it, as long as you can wait 6-12 weeks for the cover to arrive from Japan with your specs. There is also a choice of leather, PVC, or suede in the center section. The PVC faux leather is actually better resistant to UV and wear, so all side bolsters come this way. As for the center, you can choose from perforated leather, or solid PVC, or even short lived but best sport grip suede.

Do these go over the current seat finish or does it replace it?

The Clazzios are a good price with the cheapest set starting at $285 including shipping for the full interior front and rear. They are designed specifically for the FR-S seats so fitment is MUCH better than the universal ones you see.

The $285 ones are made of full vinyl and can be found here :

I've got the .SARDs as well and love them. They fit better than i would have imagined, hardly any wrinkles and a great price to boot

Just found these on ebay and was curious if anyone here has bought them and what they think. They show to be PVC vinyl and only $263 for front and back together.

^^Really curious about those as well. Seems like a great deal, I'm just not a big fan of the red center patch as it looks tacked on.

Bump time. I'm looking for low cost covers and it's a toss up between the clazzio and the SARD. The SARD blue ones look nice, but I'm not sure I want to pay that much and to be honest I don't really want the word "racing" on my seats. Does anyone have a picture of the low cost clazzio with black/black with red or blue stitching? It looks like the one on the previous page is white stitching. I wish there was a preview of sorts when you choose different combinations. I also live in Arizona so I'm going to assume the heat will warm any wrinkles right out pretty easy. Hopefully they won't be too sweaty though.
