Default Convertible - Best Car Cover & Seat Covers?

Got a 1994 convertible... couple questions needing some help with

#1) What is everyone's opinions on car covers for a car that will be outside all the time. Looking to just keep the winter conditions off of it, rain...etc

#2) The seats on the car are shot, rough shape so the previous owner bought some seat covers which I like but the problem is I assume they were cheap and they have faded so instead of being red they are now a faint pink!!! Anyone have ideas that wont break the bank on seat covers? Neoprone the way to go for a smaller budget then having to get all new seats put in?

Can't remember the name of it..something like storm king. Its an unlined one so it won't flake apart and dirty up the paint..just bought it on sale from one of the vendors..it normaly goes for $350.00 and it appears very well made. Of course it arrived the day I rented a garage...but I still use it to cover her up.

Lots of people go with Iggee, I put new foam with leather in mine, more expensive but worth it i think.

If the faded covers are in good shape, just clean them and dye them with vinyl dye.. I did vinyl replacement covers on my 92 several years ago and they still look great. I like leather but it is very expensive and will crack. Until I restore the car it will have vinyl.
