my racing seats fading

Hey guys I have the matrix racing seats these right here. Just look at the link and youll see the ones I have. Ok the top part is fading from sitting in the sun, so I want to get them recovered. The thing is I really enjoy the fabric they are covered in now but I dont like the fading so I dont know what to get them recovered in. What is you guys suggestions?
Thanks,
Realitycheck

this is what i did, no bullshit. i covered them in trashbags(black ones) unless i went to a show. the ones i have for sale were sat in for two months and are absolutely flawless....well, cause i only really sat in them on the way to/from shows

as I said, just check out what is WETOKOLE seat cover, check how many people here have it and if it is APC quality.

Also, just check if there is a X on it. There is no need for assumption before you even took look at the pictures adn know aht are you talking about.

The guy who is having problem here does not have APC.

No I have matrix and yeah I do think they have a big x on the headrest area anyway, I'm going to get them recovered, but I dont know what fabric to use what do you guys thinks I should get??????
And just a fyi I got the seats because they were the only ones I could find that were black and had just a red inserts on the bolsters. All other ones were like solid red and I didnt want that much red in my black interior. So thats why I got them but no problems though man.
