I had to take this because unfortunately I let people (brother, daughter and grandchildren) ride in my car who don't care about my car as much as I do. (Honestly, my original driver's seat is still good.) But now that I've installed this (I also got the matching rear seat cover), MY seat looks crappy! Thank goodness I now feel like my car seats are immune to other people's messes and stains! (God loves her because I do too.)
