The leather seating surface does not appear to be porous. Does this interfere with the seat ventilation (cooling) system?
If you buy a pre-made kit (if they are even available), you can do it yourself with some patience and skill. Mine is totally custom so I had the shop who did my whole car do the interior work too. We didn't have time to get the material perforated prior to SEMA a few years ago so we had to use the solid material. As far as ventilation, I don't really drive this car so I never even put the ventilation on. I know it would block it so having perforated material is a must.

It's funny, the first was offered by some vendor here for 2x the price. I kinda like them but haven't seen one in person.

Second is more of an apron attachment (you can see the elastic ties). Not sure why you would want to block your heating/cooling, but not exactly VIP if you're headed in that direction.

Looks different. I'm getting tired of the same old diamond stitch pattern that's everywhere. Do something different like your example.
