Is that for the bottom of the seat or the seat back?  I had the bottom one replaced as soon as I bought the car and while it was still under warranty.  I am nuts about keeping them conditioned but the back is starting to go now.  Just along the edge by the door on the drivers seat.

the seat part on the outer edge is wear mine goes on both sides ...but so far the passenger side is holding Ok.
I was pretty anal about keeping the seats well conditioned ...actually over conditioned really this time. I rubbed the Meguires Gold on with my finger and let it soak in over night religiously

How much is that roughly costing you to replace. I've been wanting to do mine but never really looked into it

Always covered under warrantee....I would never pay for OEM seat skins

I'll have to check mine closely today to see how it's holding up. I didn't realize this was an issue.

I've always disliked the 2010-2012 seats. I'm going to wear out my seats first before I shell out for a set of covers from a 2013 SHO with the leather.

Stupid question but how can you do so. You can buy just the seat cover material from the dealer or aftermarket or something?

you can buy it from a wrecked car for much cheaper then new from a dealer. Just the bottom cover for the front seat is like $270. Crazy. Used or aftermarket is the only way to go
