Seats after 6 years under Clazzio covers
Took my Clazzio covers off for a yearly leather treatment on the seats. The covers have been on since 2009 when I bought my S2k. Bolsters are still sharp as rails!! I'm really thrilled with how well the seats have been holding up while covered. And the covers look so good you can't tell they aren't the real seats anyway.
It helps that I am not a lard ass too

Who are you saving the "real" seats for, some other owner?

haha lol
I really like the way the black leatherette covers with the Alcantara centers look and feel. They make the stock seats more comfy too. I added the black Honda euro floor mats and love the contrasting look of the black seats and floor mats with the blue carpet. That is about as far as I am willing to go on "mods."

If no one else will say it, I will... That's pretty impressive!
Coincidentally, I just finished installing my Clazzio seat covers today... I burned a lot of calories doing it... My fingers are sore from tugging and pulling the cover tight, and my back has been broken by maneuvering the seat in and out of my car with the hardtop on!!!
I must give you credit, I am not sure whether I would have ever have the energy to take them off to condition the leather underneath...
I'd love to see a picture that shows your the contrast between your seat covers, your center console and your euro floor mats!
BTW, how well have your Clazzio covers faired over the 6 years?

Covers are still like new. I just wipe them down with some vinyl cleaner and reapply 303 protectant about once a year. Not on the suede part though - just gently wipe with water on a microfibre. I put the covers back on today without having to remove the seats - took about 15 minutes to wrestle them on. Once they sit in place for a year or so, they go back on easy. I remember that sore back and hands from putting them on the first time though.
I just put the car away, but will try to get some pics tomorrow when I take it back out.

Props! They look really good. I noticed my seats were sorta wearing and on the verge of ripping so I cashed out on these covers. I also opted for the additional perforated leather insert with red stitching and I think they look awesome. Lets see what your covers look like after 6 years, I'm curious.

The seat covers have fake suede centers (Alcantara) so they can look different depending on how they are brushed or angle.

Wow...those look great... They look like the fit like a glove with no bagginess whatsoever... Is that the case, or are there some areas where the fit is not as tight?
Mine don't fit quite that tight...they look fantastic, but there is some notable areas of "bagginess" near the side bolsters... Maybe you can share some tricks and tips for how to get rid of them on my car... I'll post some photos shortly...
And yes...the maneuvering of the seats with the hardtop on was a big PITA!!!
