Dream covers seem to be the standard recommendation for now

I believe a few members are also using (or ordered) seat covers manufactured by l1mtd_r on IG.

Likely the route I'll go for front and back.

Would love to hear your thoughts if decide to go in that direction. I just noticed l1mtd_r has an eBay store as well. https://www.ebay.com/usr/hyperparts23?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2559

I went front and back in hyper red suede. Picked it up locally though, if you DM him on IG, its about $50 cheaper per set but not including shipping.

I like them for the extra protection. I coated them with the Dr. Beasley's microsuede protection spray since the original seats aren't microsuede.

Fitment is good, I think about as best as you can get for a cover. Easy install too but definitely pricy.

Super helpful. Can you share some photos? I know there are photos online but additional data points are always accretive. Any considerations you're able to share would also be helpful. What I mean by that is, is there anything about them that is less than ideal.

I have the hyper suede rear seat covers from l1mtd_r and like them. They are actually softer than the OEM alcantara, but are also probably hotter as well. I never sit in the back so I honestly cannot speak on them too much. The fronts are the same material, but there are some posts in the FB groups that do not appear to have the best fitment, so take that as you may. Here are some pics of the rear though:

Some portions have a bit more slack than the rest (could be a user error though). But overall, pretty happy with the quality.

Also agree with the comment above about them being softer than the OEM fabric!

Those look really nice guys, ties the whole interior together

100% vouch for hypersuede - they fit like a tailored suit.

Oh wow the black set has different material in the middle. Looks good!

for 5-600 for seat covers, has anyone looked at how much oem seats are? after a few years of wear and tear i feel like you'd probably need to replace the seat covers anyways. an aftermarket seat is like $1000

Do they make your back sweat more?
