Where to buy good seat covers?

Hi all,

I just recently had my 1991 Acura Legend sedan reupholstered with new leather. Due to the fact that I will be using my car as a daily driver I am going to be putting premature wear on the seats. (esp the driver side).

Can anyone recommend a good seat of seat covers ? I would prefer. anything but sheepskin btw.


Thanks,
Jon

Vote #2 for Wetokole - I saw these in a Lexus, black covers/black interior and it damn near looked stock. They're not cheap, but most would say they're the best.

Vote #3 for the wet okole brand. My father just picked up a pair for his z3 with the bmw logo on them for a $250. They are not cheap, but well worth the cost! I like them alot and just got back from an 8-hour road trip in the z3 and I love the covers.

I just ordered some simulated leather CoverKing seat covers from Cabelas. CoverKing also makes cloth and neoprene (Wet Okole style) seat covers. I don't really know anything about their quality, but I'll be finding out in "3-5 weeks".

Vote #4 for the Wet Okoles. Got 'em in the MPV. BUT..being neoprene, I'm not absolutely certain that they are what Jon718 wants to be sitting on all the time While they're perfect for our "dog hauler", I wouldn't want them in the Audis or the Jag. But note that some people have them in nice cars and like them.

I have a set of Wet Okoles in my Tacoma 4WD which I use for work every day. I installed them when the truck was new 2 1/2 years ago to protect the seats. These things are bulletproof, fit well, and pretty stylish.

Good stuff!
