What basic 'off the rack' seat covers fit the stock seats in the 914. I'm undecided if I want to recover the stock seats or go with aftermarket. In the mean time, I'd like to cover the PO's duct tape seat patches.

So is there something out there that fit's these very well without being the same price as recovering the seats? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Performance Products/Automotion carries a set made for the 914 in black or tan for about $80.

You can get the Neoprene Wet Okole ones too. Many color options available.

In had a set of those Wet Okole seat covers on my Alfa Spyder and while they fit good they don't breathe , after 15 minutes on a hot and humid day I couldn't sit in the car and had to change my shirt,the stock vinyl seats are cooler.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I have a set of 914 ones I got out of a junkyard. I have since scored some seats with cloth inserts.

Suzi has really nice stock seats, but black vinyl and my fat ass don't quite get along, especially in the summer. These are from local FLAPS. Leather/sheepskin seating surface with a nice lumbar support. Ain't too pretty, but comfy. Like $30 each.

Howard, those really don't look that bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Which FLAPS carries those and do they come in a tan color? Do they actually cover the seat or just lay on top of the seats? Can you post a better picture?

compared to the stock seats with tears and foam showing? Those look awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks. I really like the look of the okole things.. but, yeah, I don't wanna take a bath while I'm driving. Sunny SoCal might make them less than desirable unless I start surfing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (no reason for the driver icon, I just like it!)

Howie, you are a good salesman! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I do not really car for sheepskin...it's itchy. But you said "comfy" and "lumbar support". That will get us cripple (and you old fogies) every time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Problem solved. We can just trade stock seats since yours are covered with comfy seating surface with lumbar support.

Thanks!

How would you like them wrapped? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Got these at Kragen, but just checked online and they don't list them now. Pep boys had them too, I believe. Come in black/grey or brown/tan. Covers the whole seat, but back and bottom are vinyl, or such. They will slip on, but I removed the seats and fitted them. I'll try to get some better pix.

The cotton Seat Savers from Automotion are the ticket, I have had 2 sets over the last 25 years there comfy and wash up nice.

Here's a picture of one of mine. Bought them on eBay several years ago for about $75. These are either the Seat Savers Chappy mentioned or are very similar. Only complaint is how the black piping is wearing.
