Default Seat covers question.

Does anyone know of good brands of seat covers that look great and are of good quality? I am wanting some for my 98 torch red coupe w/tan interior and am trying to decide which would look best inside. Any advice would be welcomed. :yesnod:

Hello SR1654.

I also purchased a pair of the Wet Okole seat covers and have been very happy with them. Had them for about 7 months now and no problems.

If you get them, a hint on the install.... Take out the seats. This makes the job much easier and you can get a better fit on the seat covers.

Ditto to everything that Rollin Black said. Don't be intimidated at all about the seat removal, it's simple. All you need are a few very basic tools, a second person to help you lift them out, and a nice large towel to cover the door seals so they do not get scratched. The seat covers look great and you are garaunteed to get compliments on them. Fit is excellent, and feel is good as well!

Thanks guys and gals. I did check the Okole seat covers out and they did look good. I did read some negative comments from purchasers of these and they were complaining of the insert colors fading after a short time. Is this really a problem and what colors would you recommend for a factory tan interior but torch red exterior?

I have had two sets of Wet Okoles on verts. No fading!

For colors, contact Tracy or Richard at Exit 28. They will be honest with you about what will match and/or look good. If you doubt their suggestions, they would probably send you a sample so you can see the color. Great service, excellent product, I will buy from Exit 28 again. :yesnod: :chevy :flag
