We have a 2011 CX-9 that we bought new. Has 106k trouble free miles on it right now. So when the wife's VW Golf TDI (2004) started to get too old to trust for an everyday commute car, I looked around and decided a Mazda3 Hatchback would be just right for her. We found a great deal on a 2013 Touring with the six speed manual at Nelson in Tulsa. Went and signed the paperwork today and drove it home.
It's a sweet little car and in great shape. Must have spent a lot of time in a garage and covered parking. The wife was really hoping to get leather but that meant going Grand Touring and the price goes up... and this Touring model showed up and was too good to turn down. The dealership told us they could have a custom leather interior done in the car for $1200... that actually sounds like a good price to me but it is still $1200! The Touring fabric seats are actually a decent material that looks like it is reasonably tough... but we tend to drive our vehicles forever and eventually the seat material starts to give out. (The wife's VW TDI has 370k miles on it now.) The wife looked around and found these custom covers made for a particular vehicle:

They look decent but I know nothing about the company or their product. I'm going from website to website looking at seat covers and it seems like the right thing to do is come here and ask for some recommendations! Anybody want to steer me in the right direction?
She wants floor mats and a cargo tray, bumper guards, etc also... but I can get those from our sponsor up top.
Open to great ideas.
Thank you,
