You are right. Safety testing is expensive and would surely cause the seat price to go up. The replicas look good and might be as safe, we just don't know. I looked hard at those seats but the absence of testing was a deal breaker for me.

Alcantara or leather? I love the feel of Alcantara but probably would still put leather in the drop top. Ease of maintenance and durability issues.

I am wanting the full Alcantera as it is the better deal since it's the same price as leather but I think the best option is probably to go with leather with Alcantera inserts. The inserts can also be switched up with different colours if additional inserts are bought ($150 each).
