Spirit R Seat Protectors

Hello 7club,
Been trying to find some seat protectors for Spirit R/RZ Recaro seats and I'm not having too much luck here. Here's what I found so far..

FD3S Spirit R & RZ limited Recaro Seat Cover | JapanOrder
https://www.ebay.com/itm/314519191070

There was one from EHS Upholstering from here on 7club but I don't think they are around anymore. I would prefer one that was made for the Recar Spirit R/RZ seats but if i can't find any, may have to go with some generic Recaro seat protectors like this or something similar.

Also, I remember seeing but can't find a protector for the seat belt guide and google is not helping me whatsoever. Any help would be appreciated or for those who own the Spirit R/RZ seats, whare are you using (if any) to protect the seats?

Lastly, thought this was neat.. I'm a sucker for illuminated side sills, thoughts on this?

Thanks for that! Those were the ones on ebay that I posted. I just got to double check if they have any other ones other than the "Carbon" ones. Would you happen to have any pictures of the fitment?

The carbon ones are the ones I got. I have a really good image from an event on my work computer. I will post it tomorrow but they contour beautifully and fit like an oem option. The fabric is excellent quality as well. Very thick and durable. They've been in use on my car(s) since 2016 and look the exact same as the day I received them.

I appreciate your feedback on them! By any chance, are you using anything to protect the seats from the seatbelts if youre using the guide?

I am not. The fabric on the seats is a lot more robust than they seem. All the years of use with the seatbelt in the guide, the fabric has not shown any kind of fatigue in that area.
