Default In need of new seat covers looking at Ridies

I am looking to replace the seat covers in my 08 base model. Right now it has the casmier factory sport seats. I would like to replace with something close in color and style to the factory seats. I will be replacing all the foam in the seats at the same time as the covers. I saw a post a while back from Ridies seat covers but i have never seen any posts about anyone useing them. So my question is have you used Ridies seat covers and would you use them again if not whos seat covers would you recomend? How was the fit and finish on your covers. If you have pictures of the finishe install that would be great. Thanks in advance for any feed back.

I’ve had Ridies for about 7 years now, and no issues. They still have the leather smell.

Thanks for the reply and picture. Thay look like they are holding up well. While searching I have found everything from $350.00 to $1600.00 and I cant beleave the high end covers were that much better. Heck the oem's lasted 18 years if I get 7 to 10 years ot of the replacements I will be happy. Thanks again

Thanks Ed for the heads up. I would rather spend once and cry once then have problems down the road.

Default Rides update

I used them 5 years ago. Entirely pleased with the look and price. Had a local shop install and they did a great job.
