3rd Gen seat covers!
Auto Custom Leathers
I had a very difficult time finding replacement seat covers for my 2008 type s. i used Auto Custom Leathers in Massachusetts. They do any color leather you want and any color stitch. Full set for 800-1000 shipped to MD, which is cheap if you have price the factory originals. They install like the originals. Go to the website and give them a call.

They need to be cleaned and conditioned, but I chose black on black with red stitching. I can't say if they would be able to match the factory stuff, but I think if you buy a new cover from Acura you'll still see a difference with your old faded leather anyway. As stated in the original, they'll do any color leather or stitching.

Did you install them yourself or have a pro shop do it? Their site shows some really nice work. I just wish they had an online website for pricing and configuration. I've been looking at leatherseats.com for a set and theirs are around the same price. I'll have to give these guys a call.

OP, please remove the new seat covers.
Then put them back on and take photos of the process, along the way, with details
This could end up in the 3G DIY Garage.

Clazzio's, while nice, cannot compare to these. This is replacement seat covering, not a 'seat cover'. Though I will admit, the Clazzios are the best slip ons I've seen. But for the slight added cost, I'd go this route. Also, the quilted insert of the Clazzio is vinyl, NOT leather.
zbryant1010 - are these covers complete leather, or just the face, or just the perforated insert? I know some other seat covering vendors offer different options as far as what is real leather vs vinyl.

Looks GREAT OP!! I agree when I read the title "seat cover" and was thinking, oh crap, gonna be some crappy slip ons... There has to be a proper terminology for these

Is it not unreasonable to think that replacing the front seat only (uppers and bottoms) would be a fairly good match? My passenger and rear seats are in excellent condition, but the driver seat looks like a warzone was conducted on all ends

Those look great zbryant.
I'm considering buying replacement covers for my seats as well. The only issue I have is what to do about the perforated panels. I like the look of them, but I'd rather not get the replacements with perforated panels because they're harder to care for and they aren't as durable IMO. Will I have any issues with the seat heaters if decide to go with solid panels?
