7-wood recaro back side and seat side cover review

After almost 2 yrs of daily driving, there appears to be some wear on the low back support. 1-2 stitches are starting to become undone after repeatedly getting in and out of the car. I would have thought the recaro would be more robust than this. Oh well. Perhaps recaro should move the stitches to the side instead of on the edges of the pads.

So one day, I decided to do a search on seat cover/protection for the recaro on Rakuten japan, and lo and behold I found these! A seat side cover and back side cover:
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/carnalead...o-sr6-sgl-ssc/ (Seat Side cover)
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/carnalead...sr6-sgl-brssc/ (Back side cover)

They have another cover that covers the shoulder and the back side together (https://item.rakuten.co.jp/carnalead...8f51c465d4f5a7) but I didn't think it was necessary for me.

I found out the brand of the covers is a company called 7-wood (http://www.7-wood.com/) after it was delivered to me as I didn't pick up the brand name on the rakuten's website. Looks like it's cheaper on their website.

Anyways, decided to try it out. Bought it from Japan on Rakuten. The Quality is amazing. Install was a breeze. It has plastic tabs which will insert underneath the back and seat cushions. It looks totally brand new! Absolutely looks like official recaro gear. Should have gotten these earlier so as to protect the seats. Amazing. Well worth it. Definitely would recommend these for their recaro seats (such as SR-6 or SR-7 and other seats). Check 7-wood website for available covers.
