Did you use the same old foam? Leather or vinyl? You did the install yourself?
You can use Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner on the rest of the seat to clean it. Use a short-bristle brush and wipe up the loosened grime with a clean rag, do it in small areas. It will look almost new. Just don’t use it on a regular basis, once every few years is ok.

i also replaced the bottom foam cushion, i went for the leather a lil' more but worth it. i have heard that vinyl is a no no. i got one of the tech from work to do it, he said it was a pain in the ass to do. good material, only thing is you have to cut your own holes for the bottom switches and air bag on the upper cover also for the belt.

Works really good on carpet also.
Never tried it on carpet. I just cleaned my front mats today too.
Finished assembling and and installing my door handles today after repainting them.
Replaced the bright af reverse LEDs I got on Amazon with the JDM Astars. It’s full sun, but you can still see the difference. Holy crap, can’t wait to see these at night. Hope they’re not too bright for the reverse camera to handle.

I like those tails. How've they been holding up so far Sam? I know alot of those led bulbs/lights burn out prematurely.Replaced the bright af reverse LEDs I got on Amazon with the JDM Astars.

What makes you say that? My Spyders are over 3 years old. I haven’t heard of anybody having led tails go out at all.
So far so good. Only had them installed for about 6 weeks or so. I like em.

Off and on over the years I have. Maybe it's the cheap China ones that go out prematurely. Iirc, @adventurenali92 had a set that might've went out. Or was it heads?

So just installed the seat, omg. Lol
Looks damn good will get a pic up soon, now it's a must to do the passenger side.
On another side note guys.....
Turns out our parts manager got the ******* Covid-19. Sucks man real good guy, never though it would happen to someone I new but it did. While getting home from work I got a call. They shut our parts and service down, we are out to the 29th of April. If you all still need any help or anything feel free to message me, I still have some access from home. You guys stay safe and well.

I think my first two sets of LED tails were cheap Chinese knock offs. The first set of tails I bought were not wired the same as the left tail turn signal and brake lights functioned differently than the right side. And they were supposed to have resistors wired in to solve the issues with the LED power draw, yet they didn’t and my cruise didn’t work with them. Fortunately the seller I bought them from refunded me. The set I had before my current LEDs had a c shaped running light tube and the tube developed A malfunction in the light that eventually started to move through the c shaped tube. It developed Several spots that didn’t light up and would move around the tube part. It ended up happening in both tails. It was quite annoying. However the individual LEDs that functioned ad my brake and turn signals didn’t have any problems. I think I’ve had current LED tails for over a year now and they haven’t developed any problems.
There’s some areas I won’t cheap out on, and lights are one of those. If you buy a name brand you’re good to go. I guess if you bought cheap incandescent housings it wouldn't be a big deal, you can just replace bulbs when they burn out and you can seal them up with silicone but if an led or tube light goes out and it isn’t serviceable you have to toss the whole thing. LEDs should last pretty much forever, it’s usually the circuitry that powers them that fails.

Interestingly enough both the two previous tail light housings came in spyder packaging. But I don’t think they were.
Knockoffs maybe? You can usually tell by the price. You know the saying- if it seems too good to be true..
