Seat Cover Tech - NO LAUGHING!

[CTENG in KS]

OK, I saw some seat covers in another thread I was told were cheapies, but I can't find anythin that looks like tham.  Here is the story, I have an sr5 runner with the nice 800 way adjustable seats.  They are in good shape and really comfy, but the fabric leaves something to be desired.  I want a set of reasonable priced covers that fit snugly.  I hate it when they are loose and slide off the seat everytime you get in or out.  So lets see those seats...what are YOU pimpin under your rear?

wet okole neoprene seat covers.  Keeps the interior from stinkin up when you get the seats wet, and I have yet to see a better attachement system.  They come in 2 pieces, one for the back and one for the seat.  The seat piece is held on by four straps, two ging front to back, and two going side to side.  the back slides on like a glove, and velcros in the crack of the seat.  The head rest covers also velcro on.  Seat specific obviously, kinda spendy ($100) If I remember right.  Very comfy, machine washable.  I think you can get knockoffs, look around on the web.  I would never have spent that much, they were in the truck when I got them.  for $100, they're a ripoff, they tend to fade in the sun, but for $30 I'd snag them real quick.  they go on sale sometimes too, so keep an eye out!

I got some seat covers from Napa for $50 or so.  They fit snuggly and look good i guess.  They have a pirate symbol on them.  I did have a picture of them but of course i deleted it yesterday to make more room on my photobucket account.  I cut slits for the control nobs to come through.

Edit: found this picture.  kinda shows them.

Those look pretty sweet...do you have the separate headrests hidden under there?

[Hyena]

Ya, the headrests are under there.  I haven't moved them since i put the seat covers on, haven't had the need to i guess.

[CTENG in KS]

Thanks Hyena!
Anybody else?

I just got SR5 buckets cheap. Why in the world are you paying so much for seats? 800 way adjustable what does that mean? All you really need is something from the junkyard that isnt too dirty or broken and go with it for around 100 for 2 of them. Problem solved.

I have SR5 seatc in my SR5 truck. They are in good shape, ya know the frames and cushions and all, but the fabric ic kinda dirty and worn.  I just want something inexpensive to put on them that looks and fits ok, but that I can throw in the washing machine, or just toss if they get to dirty from da wheelin.  I just hate those seat covers that don't fit tightly and shift around all the time.

What?!









I had lambs skin covers once, they were great except they made my nose itch.

I hate when they get those worn bald patchs though...bald is ok for the wimmens, but not the sheep seats!

That's why my nose was itchy fur was coming off and getting all over.

Sorry if that sounded a little mean earlier, I was grumpy...

[CTENG in KS]

Huh...I didn't think you sounded grumpy, I just thought you misunderstood what my first post was about...ah the interweb, heartless, emotion free ether.

Well if you'd quit getting grounded all the time you wouldn't be so grumpy.

[CTENG in KS]

Lesson 1: Kids should not be allowed anything over 80hp. That WRX has got to go.  

[wa4x4]

You need a car to attract chicks   I'm sorry buddy   I drove an '87 dodge caravan for a couple years, never had any problems. 

Back on subject,
CTENG, just go to wallysworld, or an auto parts store.  Check out the different seat overs they have.  The more attachemnt points they have, the snugger they will be.

I've made a decision:

[Hyena]
