The okoles are protective covers. You just slip em on.

Seat Covers
I've got a 98 Nassau Blue Convertible. The grey leather seats are cracking and I need to do something about it. Does anybody have experience with neoprene seat covers from Wet Okole Hawaii (www.wetokole.com)? They run a little less than $300. The leather replacements I've been looking at are around $900. Are the neoprene seat covers easy to install? Are the leather replacements easy to install?
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks for the input MyVetteDream and rockrz! I'd really love to hear from CircusVargas1 to find out if he/she is pleased with the neoprene covers.
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but are neoprene covers "desirable" or are they just a cheap way to cover up damaged originals?

I had some dark silver sheepskin covers made for my Sebring Silver 98. They are VERY comfy, warm in the winter, and won't scorch you in the summer. Most guys don't like sheepskins, so maybe its a girl thing.
I 'wear' my neoprene....wet suit or dry suit for SCUBA diving.
