You might wanna put it in the thread subject line. The smart people on this forum quit clicking on click bait threads a long time ago.

Have seen a number of these covers on C5s, but do not recall seeing any yet on a C7. They reportedly fit very well on the C5 seats and looked very good. Install was easier with the seats out of the car it seemed. If you decide to do these, please post up pics and your review.

Wonder if the OP knows what "okole" means in Hawaiian

(I'll keep my SandyEggo Seat Skins regardless....)

Default Wet Okole

Gary i just installed a set in my 2019 GS. I bought my car late in December and so did not have a lot of interior color choices. I wanted to lighten up my all black interior so i got the black with tan insert covers. They look great and feel fine but i had to take both seats out of the car to install them. Trying to put them on with the seats in the car is like trying to build a ship in a bottle while wearing boxing gloves! Once in they are very nice though.

I had them in my C5 for about 10 years and the looked and wore REALLY well.
I know there are other companies that make a similar product but Wet Okole is the originator of these Wet Suite Material.
Their product fit well, however I did remove my seats to get them to fit very tight.

Had them on my 05 coupe. They wore, but, the seats were like new when I sold the car.
Liked them so much I put a set on my 2012 vert. I got the tan with black outside edge to break up the all tan interior.
I really think they are a worth while item.
One thing I did notice with the 2012, I don't think you are supposed to use the heated seats if you have that option.
I did discover that they warm up your butt quickly when it is cold outside, so, I don't need to use the heated seat.
