Lseat.com. Great color match and quality. I had these installed in the front seats and center console. I do recommend that you get the rear headrest at the same time as they have a tendency to shrink.

I will let you know that the seat heating pads are sewn into the original covers and will need to be removed and reinstalled. My installation cost were $700.00 from a local upholstery shop in San Diego. The new LSeat covers were $400.00 including the headrest. Good luck.

Anyone else want to chime in with a long term review of the Lseat fit and durability?

Paul, I saw where you commented in another thread that you were waiting for the heat to “shrink” the skins for a smooth fit. Did they tighten up ?

Thanks,

You know, I don't think replacement seat covers in this price range can ever be perfect. But I have to say that I am proud of my interior again. Is it factory? No, would anyone else besides me ever notice? Not a chance. I'm completely satisfied so far. Feel safe taking the plunge. But when they arrive, they come in a vacuum sealed bag. Remove them immediately and let them start to breath since any hard objects such as buckles and straps can leave an indentation that will take longer to relax.

I put Lseat cover in mine summer 2020, I happy with how they turned out and how they're holding up. I suggest get the full leather option (I wish I had), adds leather to the portions of the seat cover that you don't touch (sides and backs). Here's a picture of both driver and passenger seats from today:


I consider it a big job if you want to re-use the seat heaters, this was my first time doing seat covers. I know, I need matching floor mats and a cargo net.
