I've got the same trouble with my seats and have looked at the iggee, but don't think I would be happy with the fit of a pvc slip on cover, and any damage to the foam is going to show through. For a hundred more The Last Detail has replacement vinyl covers that fit as the orignals do, its more work and does not cover the back of the upper shell as the Iggee does but look at the picture on their website of the seat with the kid behind it-I want a better fit around the switches. Still rather have the Al Knoch leathers.

I don't really care for leather seats. Very hot in the summer, cold in the winter.

I went with Wet Okole http://wetokole.net/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT

Bit pricy but well worth it.

I have Iggee and I love them. Bought them off of Ebay as well. No problems with fitment at all.

I agree. I think they look better than Okoles and are form fitting as well.

I bought a good leather one online at the Auto Barn a long time ago. It fit and looks great. Make sure you get one for the appropriate thickness of your steering wheel.

296 delivered to the door. These covers definitely are form fitting. I considered the others and for me these were the best as they didnt have the red to match my interior in the igees(sp?)

Iggee seatcovers are slipcovers and a lot of guys have bought them and like 'em. I bought regular vinyl covers off of Fleabay for $250 in two-tone and with flame embroidered headrests. I installed them just like the factory did. Iggee's are a bargain and don't require any upholstery skills. They really improve a trashed seat. Don't expect a perfect fit.

Wheelskins are an excellent cover and fit tight. It's not difficult to install at all.

chuckgrill do your seats ever come undone or loose to the point where u have to constantly adjust them?
I've had them on for a month so far and haven't had that problem yet. Something to look forward to? Hope not.

I like the looks of the IGGEE. Are they that price even as two tone? I have an 86 without those switches in the bolsters. Those look to be for the one with the switches. Where can I get them for my seats?

Im gonna purchase some seat covers and I cant decide between Iggee and Wet Okole.. does anyone have some pics of their covers they can post? Also how does the material of the Okole feel?

I intend on going with two tone Blue-black, but both makers have the same color combo. So without SEEING the covers with my own eyes to see how they look, its really hard to decide which one would better suit me.
