I'm interested in reupholstering my seats. Long term review? I got quoted $570 and $600 from 2 different places just for the labor costs of putting them in. I guess I'll be doing it myself.

Katzkin is out of my price range. They would cost me 1/8 of what I just paid for the car. That's why I am interested in the Interior Innovations. The synthetic leather with the suede inserts would cost me $250 plus shipping. Plus some sweat equity for installation.
I have genuine leather covers that are ~25,000 miles old now. Fitment and construction wise the covers still fit well. I did the install with zip ties and I havent had issues with any of them breaking.
The leather finish is where they haven't stood up all that well. If you are getting synthetic covers this probably won't be an issue. Whatever they finished the leather in seems to come off somewhat easily even with mild leather cleaners. It's a fixable problem through and the leather itself hasn't shown any signs of drying or cracking, but I do condition the seats every 1-2 months. They are hard to beat for the price but I suspect the more expensive covers are worth it if they are in your budget.
One more thing. Fitment will also be impacted by the condition of the foam in your seats. The older the seats are the more likely the cover will be loose.
