Seats are in good shape just wanted covers to keep them that way, universal are too wide too big, most that fit real good are pretty expensive

QUOTE(brcacti @ Sep 17 2019, 05:28 PM) Seats are in good shape just wanted covers to keep them that way, universal are too wide too big, most that fit real good are pretty expensive I am looking at some from a company called Wet Okole. They sell cloth covered neoprene made to fit covers. Lots of color choices for the middle panels. You can get seat heaters and other options included too. I just got some sample swatches in the mail. The pictures on their website look pretty good. They are $264 a set and 70 more for heat on both seats. I am getting ready to order. I have not seen them in person yet. Does anyone here have experience with this company? I think they take 4 weeks to make and ship. They are in Costa Mesa, Ca. wetokole.com |

Wet Okole Hawaii
1727 Dillingham Blvd. Honolulu Hawaii 96819 (808) 531-9778 I used them in my Tahoe. Wear and tear after 150k was the thin flock peeling off revealing the neoprene. Installed, I sat a bit higher. |

I think more like puffed up. A thinner lower cushion might get you back deeper in the bucket.

My car came with Wet Okole seat covers. They fit tight over the seats. I took mine off because I like the stock seat look. I would probably sell mine but they are black with a red center panel
