Check forum vendor Ridies (formerly Interior Innovations). Real leather and great prices.

I’ll second that, even tho I purchased from interior innovations (which I think merged or was bought by Ridies) & had some initial issues. The final product was excellent & much better quality than OEM.

There is a big difference. The sport seats have a removable center section that the standard does not. The seat base is the same for either, but the seat back is not.

I also believe the sport seats have airbags built into the seats , some one correct me if I'm wrong.

I also got mine from Ridies , sport seats with airbags in the seats and love everything about them

And Ed, if your do get them from Ridies make sure to get the perforated seats (little bitty holes) makes the heated part work better and I think it looks better too

That's what I did get, but this is good advice for the OP.

Ridies seat cover photos on their website look pretty darn good for the 05 to 11 models, but not so great for the 2012 seats. I didn't realize they had changed their name. It would appear, however, that they still do not have the correct Cobalt red as a leather option, just the brighter Torch red.

The pics on their website for the 2012 seats are mine & taken from my crappy Iphone. The seat skins are excellent quality, far, far better than OEM. I get nothing but compliments on the seats whenever I drive the car.

Sport seats have airbags, standard seats do not. The word “airbag” is embossed on factory sport seat covers.
My replacement covers have the word Airbag” on a tag that is stitched along the side of the seat back.
