Default Seat covers?

I'm looking to spend 150-250 on seat covers and I want to to Know what is the best quality for that price range. Links appreciated, and is the leather good or the mesh all input appreciated. I'm also looking for a e brake boot, shifter boot (a4) and door pulls and handle over the passenger air bag. Red and black

If you mean just a cover that slips over the leather that is already on the seats, then try Mid-America or Ecklers. Both have slip on covers that work well. If you're talking about new leather, I'm afraid you're not going to find a set for that kind of price. You might look into getting a set of the Wet Okole's if you just want something to go over the stock leather seat skins - they may be more than your budget but they look good, fit good and are comfortable.

Thanks That's exactly what I'm looking for, the slide over ones. Sorry for the confusion

The neoprene covers are also a nice choice

http://www.redlinegoods.com/C5shiftboot.php I have had their interior kit (door pulls, grab bar, shifter boot, E brake, T/C trim) for over 4 years now and they look as good today as the day I got them.

I have all of the same in my FRC in Charcoal/black. They are are perfect fit. Redline's instructions are very easy to follow. I wish they offered seat covers.

I went with the neoprene seat covers several years ago. Fit well, look good, help keeps things cooler, and have held up very well.

When mine get worn out, I'll replace them with the same neoprene seat covers.

I went with Iggee seat covers....love them. They were pretty easy to get on and they are great quality. Only cost about $195 for the set.

Thanks for all the helpful information guys, I forget which one but it had an option for heated seats and that seemed nice, so is it worth it to get of with the covers (78$ more) or is there a cheaper kit available?
