Where to buy good seat covers, for my car! Options

[cHinaman727]

Just thinkin about this today, since I am doing deliveries, I get in and out of my car a lot. I need some nice, quality seat covers that are made to fit a 1994 GT seat.

Where can I get some that are made for our cars? (Not the generic walmart brand)

Thanks guys!

passenger side was perfect

my 99gt has a strange height-adjustable driver's seat that has a fabric connection between the seat and the seatback. that side didn't fit, but i sent it back in and they modified it to my specifications. now all is well.

Is the height adjustable thing that knob that looks like a gear on the side of the seat?

Edit: What kind did you get from them? Oh and do you have any pictures of the seats? That would be awesome!

yes, the knob on the side is the height adjustment.

i got black neoprene, which is soft and very durable (it passed my sandpaper test better than any of the other fabric swatches they sent me)

there is a picture in my profile. the spots are on the lens of the camera cause it was raining that day.

to see if you have the same driver-side-seat i do slide you hand between the top and bottom halfs. if there's a piece of fabric connecting the two of them and keeping your hand from going into the back compartment then you have the same seat i do. on my passenger side seat i don't have anything like that so my hand can get all the way through.

[cHinaman727]

that looks gray though, you sure you got black?

id probably want the black/blue one too

[Zimluura]

yeah, it's black. the inside and outside of my car are black too. probably the camera flash on an rainy day is making them look gray.

but the coverking people will send you free fabric swatches (in whatever color you ask for), so just email them.

haha, I thought I was crazy for noticing that more than the covers

The website and products look very promising. Could you make a picture of your interior for us?
I'm very curious how it looks in real life. Wonder how the cover can follow the shape of the seats actually. It can't be like a pillow case because we're talking bucket seats. How does it work?

I'd like to know about the fitment as well. I bought some universal car seats from autozone just to test them out and they are very lose and not really comfortable.


Are your seats snug?

[Zimluura]

haha. the glock was my attempt at an artistic touch.

here's a bunch of pics i just took (including another artistic touch)

the passenger side fits sooooo well. i took photos of both sides from low angles and neither side has much trouble conforming to the bucket seat.

the driver's side can actually fit better than that, but not too much. though if i cut a few holes in the seat's fabric (the part that connects the back cushion to the butt cushion. i could sew another strap or two onto the driver seat covers and get a much snugger fit.

hey those look real good. i been lookin round for seats as well, considerin riverside is hotter than hell, i need somethin to protect my bum from burnin leather :\ imma look into this thanks for postin those pics z

[Zimluura]

on a side note about materials. the neoprene does seem to make me sweat a bit more than the original leather (it's not hot, i think it just conforms to your body more and allows for less breathing). but it's very durable. it's also quite humid here so i sweat allot anyways.

if you guys decide to get some, it may be a good idea to check your driver's seat first and see if the two halves are connected like this:


or specifically if the difference between drive and passenger seats are like this one:


if so, you might want to email coverking and ask them about what they think is the best idea on the driver's side. i think the lady i talked to was named Candice Rubin.

How much did you waste on both front seats? Those are cool

[Zimluura]

i wanna say it was 220 for both (in neoprene) at one of the coverking retailers. they got some fabrics that are less.

[duders]

Is neoprene good quality? I want in in balck and silver or black and blue

[Zimluura]

i like neoprene.

pros:
it's soft.
it's durable, passed my sandpaper test better than leatherette or cordura.
it's stretchy so it gives a nice fit.
it's what wet-suits are made of so water shouldn't ever mess it up.

cons:
makes me sweat a little more than the regular leather seat did. but summer is really humid in va.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Does anyone else have these? I want to get them in that leatherette material but i want to make sure you will not be able to see my old seat at all...

Zimluura- do you have any pics of what the back of the seat looks like

[kerosene]

I am also going to be looking to get some... i wanna get custom blue/white ones. Is there someone that can take pics of entire seat and how it looks....

[Zimluura]

don't think you can get it so that the old seat is entirely obscured.





here's a link to the original collection if anyone needs any more angles let me know
