Everybody sells the same kit. There's only one company manufacturing the replacement seat covers.

The OEM material is no longer available, but the kit comes with a close alternative. A very attentive thirdgenner would notice the difference, but nobody else would. The stitching and overall craftsmanship of the covers is spot-on. The only difference is the fabric itself. The new fabric is a bit more plush and softer to the touch than the rough OEM stuff. It should also be much more durable.
