Well, I've looked at aftermarket seats for some years now and they never fit my hips right. The few that ever have are 1200 or so EACH SEAT. Then you add brackets, well, you are paying a ton.
I've ALWAYS loved our stock seats, but not the stock leather.
Well, I found a new project, and just finished it for KFX Performance. Introducing the new line of Roadwire custom seat skin REPLACEMENTS.
Mine are BODY Quicksilver CF, and the rest is Dark Charcoal Leather with Silver contrast stitching.
And yes, those are map pockets.
That's right, full replacements, fit like OEM. All you have to do is install them, and for the rear seat backs you need to get your carpet moved to the new set (cost me $80). They mount just like the OEM ones.
Bonus? These are available for almost every variation of every car for the past 60 years. I'll be posting up the actual schematics for all the RD seats and all requested models shortly, along with pricing.
As an estimate? Pricing should run somewhere around $500 to $600 for the fronts, and $750 to $850 for the entire interior.
We will be including some of the options for free, like contrast stitching and a couple of others. Embroidery and others will be extra. They come with a 3 year 36K mile warranty from the MFR, and there is a WIDE range of colors and options available. More to come.
Lastly, they are still a tiny bit loose in the back, and the fronts on the edges, but once they get some sun they will be perfectly tight. They do NOT feel loose at all, and the MFR says after a few days of hot sun, they'll pull tight.
Here's an example of the schematic I will be posting. This is for the RD2 with OEM Leather.

They are not pricy at all, and are NOT covers.
you take your OEM parts off, and replace them with these. They are replacement skins.
I took my car to every SINGLE custom interior place in Albuquerque to get the IDENTICAL work done.
Cheapest price was $1200.
Now THAT is expensive.
As for options, a few include...
Leather
Vinyl
CF Vinyl
Alcantara
Perforated Leather
Seat Heaters
Seat Massagers
Piping
Contrast stitching
Embroidery
Heat Sealing (hard to explain, like shaping the leather to conform with a emblem)
5 or 6 different options for the separation of colors (body, face, insert, front, ect)
And more...
