Default Seat Skins

You guys looking to update your interior with new seat skins be sure to take a look at interior-Innovations. Just ordered the yellow and black evo style. Very good price and easy to work with.

I like the look of the products but had a real problem with communication, I wanted to order a arm rest cover to see the quality and then hopefully new seat covers. Can't wait to hear how yours turn out.

I have had them on mine for almost a year now. Feel good, look nice. I couldn't get mine to install in the same way the stock seats were... meaning they wouldn't stretch to attach in the same spot, but they worked out just fine.

I got a set from them for my winter project last year.

Pros: Inexpensive. Personally I like the synthetic (I got synthetic with genuine perf leather inserts) on the seat bottom because it won't wrinkle and crack with age like real leather would. JMHO.

Cons: Fitment wasn't the greatest. Had to make a few "compromises" when installing them myself...but no one would know it but me, so I don't really care.

I'd buy them again. Got a set of covers and a console cover for $400 total.

A number of posts have been made about their covers. Reviews have been positive which helps when you consider how inexpensive the covers are.

I also bought a set last year. The fitment was great for me. I also used new foam so the stretch was kind of tough, but I used zip ties instead of hog rings. I couldn't pull the skins tight enough to use hog rings by themselves. My seats look great, much better than factory. I have less wrinkles than the factory seats had. Plus they're not as hot as my factory covers were when I leave the top down and the sun shinning on them. I bought the full leather with perforated centers, and would do it again. I don't think you could buy a better set any wheres near the cost. Made my old 99 smell new again too.

I'll bet that you'll be pleased with the product.

Here's a link to the upgrades I did with their products:
