Default seats questions

My base seats are worn on the sides and I was interested in getting them fixed. Today I went and got an estimate of $300. This was to replace the sides, headrest, and crotch hump on both seats. The burnt orange leather will run me near $200 for how much I'll need. Do you think $500 would be a good deal to get this done? Also I'm highly interested in these since they'll be roughly the same price. Are these actual Brides? Most of the fake ones on Ebay use a play on words in the title like "Bride style" and these appear to be authentic to me. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nevermind I found a thing on their site saying beware of imitations made of suede/alancantra. It seems they are fakes, even though they appeared to be real to me anyway.

I would just buy covers from Katzkin or leatherseats.com.....it might also help resale value a bit. Either you can install or have someone local do it.

If I'm going to pay that much I'll just spend a bit more and get some aftermarkets. I'm looking at some Momo RS GTs, Sparco Speeds, and F1Specs type 1 seats. Any feedback on these?
