Have you noticed you seats to have faded? Or is just my set of Sparcos.

I've had them a little over a year and they just look bad. Should i spend the money for new cover or just sell them and go stock or get another chepaer sparco seat?

Let me know how your seats are...

I've had mine for 1.5 years still looks good and it was used for 3 years in a daily driver before I got it. Recaro SRDs.

Depends on the material. I've seen alcantara ones rub and fade at the same spots, driver seat: the left side from getting in and out of the car. My fronts aren't alcantara, but a fabric and they seem to be holding up pretty well for 2+ years. Getting them recovered would be cheaper than buying a new set.

they have anti-wear patches and they are fine. its just random spots.

110$ + 160 = 270$ for them to be recoverd.

they cost only 500$

My Sparco Fighter seat has a wear spot on the bolster from getting in and out of the bucket seat.
