Do you enter car shows? Would you say both/either would have an effect on judging?

While I like the splash of red mine offer ,I dont think they would go over well at a car show judging.But show cars are not my thing.

Don't have time to waste at car shows-all I know is it protects the cheap seats GM put in C5's.

The Wet Okole covers are very good - have seen them and talked to the owners - they had high marks for them.

Had Wetokoles on my c4. They held up great, good quality. They looked goofy, though.

I have Wet Okole's in both cars and they are excellent product. Very well made and also fit tight and have lasted many years in the vette which was a daily driver for ~7 years.

Don't have them but have watched various posts. Wet Okole seems to get a lot of good press but again, no personal experience.

i have CoverKing covers. They haven't been on too long but after a ride or two i was used to them and they are very comfortable. They seem like they will last nice and long!

Wow, those look great! I've been considering something like that, but would like to know... do they get all bunched up and slide around when you get in and out?

No, they stay put. They have a backing that provides a bit more cushion and are less “hot & sticky” than leather in warm temps.
