his are red in the center and black on the edges, they look very good and go alot better with the red interior than the plain red seats did, they also fit alot better than any other ones ive seen before, i can barely tell that they are covers from a few feet away, only problem ive seen is that over the past 2 years they have faded some on the side that go around the seat to the back, but the car has sat outside everyday for 2 years so it is understandable

No offense guys, but putting type-S seat covers on a car are pretty *****. Like it says type-Stupid or something. Just my opinion.

You can find some good seat covers that just match the originals and protect well. My seat covers hide a torn seat, and match so well a lot of people cant tell they are seat covers. Im just saying the first thing I think is what a tool when I see stuff like that or those "Nawsss" floormats or fire extinguishers.

Mine arn't sold at autozone, I got them off ebay from seller "designcovers" you can see them at their website designcovers.com They are way better than anything sold at autozone. The are made out of a thick canvas material. The center red part has foam padding sticked into it. There is no cheap materials used on them. I payed $50 on ebay, but they are like $65 on their website. I highly recomend them over any covers I've seen in the store.

the seat covers i got for my car weren't cheap either, 50 for the set, looked identical to yours. the seat covers i got were cusioned also, i love them but they would make you sit a bit higher due to the foam.
