I have searched the internet and s2ki but i am not coming up with much when it comes to replacement seat covers. I know clazzio makes the slip over covers, i've had them and honestly they're not bad but i'm looking for something that will replace the oem. I have some 07 seats i'd like to get redone.

I have found them on leatherseats.com but haven't seen any s2000 reviews.

I found this link here, relating to the ebay seat covers but the fitment looks awfully baggy

Does anyone know a company that makes a good fitting and looking aftermarket seat cover or know an individual i can send seats off to to be reupholstered?
Any help would be appreciated

I'm curious about the seat fabric construction: Are our "leather" seats just leather-trimmed? Gotta assume the backs are vinyl and I'm guessing the side panels are as well. As noted, just curious.

Replacement of the foam seems to be vital for taut fabric. May get better results at a shop specializing in seat reconstruction even if they use one of the kits as a base. Seems most of the "car restoration" TV shows farm out this work to specialists.

See link. leatherseats.com is a reseller of these seat covers. https://katzkin.com

I am in the same situation. This place did a recover for my ZDX and workmanship is top notch.

I am meeting with the design lady later this month to decide on the colors/type/combination.

I asked around at a few dealers and they all pointed to a local upholstery shop when my front seats wore out in my 04 MDX. It was about $600 for new seat bottoms and they did a nice job.

I would go for a professional upholstery place so the seats look like it came from the factory and not some aftermarket cover. I would probably remove both seats from the S before so they don't accidentally scrape it up. Might even save a buck or two that way.

The weird thing is that katzkin doesn’t list the s2000 on their website. They make excellent covers, I’ve used them before. If they had them available for the s that is what I would buy.

Lisa at Lions tells me they can order directly from Katzkin or via a reseller. She knows I have an AP1 and indicated that going directly through Katzkin means more color choices and other options. That's why she told me to come in so we can "mask up" and begin the design phase of my "project". Her husband is the craftsman. She runs the office and handles design. I was amazed at how well the re-cover of the front seats of the ZDX went the result was awesome. The guy I sold it to was thoroughly impressed as well, and one of the reasons he wanted it, besides it being a very cool Acura.

Anyway, she says the Katzkin covers are excellent, as you've indicated. My problem: So many color combination choices. She has a really good eye and wonderful taste so I am sure with her help I'll find just the right look for the S.

Chuck, all seating surfaces (the parts your body is on) are leather on the stock seats. The outside of the side and seat bolsters and the backs are vinyl. It's not great leather, but it's leather.

For the OP, any good upholstery shop can redo the seats better than any slip-on. I opted for the Clazzios due to cost, and I love them. Not only do they look great, they were relatively cheap. I was looking at about $1500 to redo the seats from a local shop, and that was keeping the existing vinyl parts intact and just replacing the leather. The Clazzios use only leather in the center (perforated) parts and the side bolsters that hit your thighs and ribs are vinyl... but good quality vinyl. These days, modern vinyl is far better than the 80s vinyl of yore. It's supple enough to not feel like plastic and it stands up better to the harshness of sun, temp swings, etc. The Clazzios also cover up typical driver's seat bolster issues and make it look nicer.

I looked at the Katzkin covers and they were a bit more than locally done custom. If I was going to spend that much, I would have just gone custom.
