Default anybody have nice seat covers?

I am looking to keep my seats so maybe I need seat covers. Anything real nice I can cover my seats with so it looks like I changed them out? Im just wondering because very few people have seat covers and/or talk about seat covers.

I got fronts from Wek Okole and all i can say is that they are worth every penny. Really well made and they've been very durable through the first year of usage. They're very comfortable and they help keep your back cool through the summer months.

Not the greatest pics, but here's 2 old ones I have:

The red is not as blinding in real life as the camera makes it seem:



The wrinkles around the seat adjusters can be easily smoothed out if i weren't so damn lazy.



Just a note. According to Wek Okole, if you opt for this basic 2-tone color scheme, the headrest color will match the center panel color. I told them if that was the case, I wouldn't order the covers. After a little discussion, they agreed to give me black headrest covers. Customer service...excellent!

I dunno man. There are a lot of options. Anyway, if you have any specific requests, give Wet Okole a call. They can probably work with you to get exactly what you want, since each one if made to order anyway.

Oh yeah, and if you can't decide on a color, order up some of their sample swatches and take them out to your car and experiment.

no. They're just small squares (like 2"x2") of fabric they send you so you can see the actual color of the material. You can't rely on the website or your monitor to show you the real color.

Don't remember exactly, but I think it was $225 + shipping, so around $240 total?

but leather just gets so.... sticky in hot weather.

i've been eyeing the wet okole covers for a while now, and i didnt like the color match head rests either. Now that i've seen a little sweet talking can fix that, well, i think i might just be ordering soon!
