Tried 2x to get color swatches and never received them. Today I noticed they are charging $1.99 shipped for a color swatch, so I went ahead and ordered. I'll document which colors match the 2-tone seats. I still haven't seen anyone post the 2-tone L-seats yet.
 
I finally got the color swatch from Lseat. There is no color match for the darker brown of the 2 tone. Lighter tone is a pretty good match with their Bisque. Rather than using the closest shade of brown, I'm going to skip the 2 tone replacement covers and just order the straight bisque from Lseat.
 
I put two tone L-seat covers on my wifes 1997 80 about a year ago. The install went smoothly enough, the fit and finish was good enough for $300 per pair. Now that she has been sliding her butt in and out of the seat for over a year, the leather is definitely showing wear. There are now several spots where the leather has failed and the dyed surface has been removed. I'll post a pic to better explain what I'm seeing. If I was to do it over again I would go for a black finish. I'm now considering a drivers seat cover to help protect the leather.

@arizonae that is after one year of use? Is it a daily driver? I just ordered all 3 rows.......that makes me want to cancel my order.
 
Arizonae: have you contacted the manufacturer about the color flaking off
after just one year? My original leather seats, although with some cracks,
aren't losing flakes like in the photos you posted.
