Default seat cover recommendations.

Anyone have any recent advise on seat covers. I have reviewed some of the previous postings and the GT looks pretty good.

You can't go wrong with the Okole custom covers. They are pricey though I love my black with blue inserts. I recently spilled coffee on mine and used their cleaner and they are still like new

I love my Wet Okole's but yes, they are a bit pricey. However, they should last the life of the car.

I opted for lumbar support on both, so that added $80 to the bill, and with shipping they were $335.

these are charcoal wet okoles without logos, and are exactly like the ones I am getting once they are made.

i also recently bought the black armrest king armrest, and will be painting the center console to match.

http://www.clean mpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7231 ....copy the whole url and paste, and remove the space between "clean" and "mpg".

Why we can't link to perfectly related sites is beyond me.

use the search function, you will get the answer without asking, and are more likely to get photos that accompany your answer

Get the okoles if you can.

Anyone have a cheaper alternative to the Okole's? I don't want to pay 300$ for seat covers. How much are new seats?

The basic 2-color Okole's cost $235, not $300. Shipping probably adds a few $$.

But if you want cheap get a pair of large bath towels and drape one over each seat. That's what I did for many years in my previous cars.

shipping on the okoles is $30, bring the grand total to $265 without any extras.
try some cheap walmart $20 covers.

seats from a junkyard would probably be around the price of the okoles if not cheaper.

At $265 I'm almost tempted to say that a reupholstering job would be cheaper. I'll try some cheap covers from Walmart... at least then I could get the black & white cow print.
