Cloth seat wear-Problem

I have almost 10,000 on the odometer and there is no visible wear on my cloth seating surfaces. My friends think that I don't drive the car and I have to show them my mileage. I don't want to fake the wear. Possibly I should get Alcantara seat covers. Any suggestions?

All personal preference I guess. I'd take cloth over leather or any other seating surface any day. Currently three of our cars have cloth seats, three have leather. Definitely prefer the cloth.

I've got 12,000 miles with no sign of wear. I don't see a reason to think of seat covers when there's no indication they're needed.

Shit like this is going to cause the forum to go to shit. Have we really stooped to the point that arguing over brand/trim level is important. I'd rather read arguments about various superchargers/rims/brakes etc. Because this is bullshit. Congratulations you have cloth seats, here's a cookie now shut the everloving fuck up. I've never seen such stupidity over trim levels.
