Whatchathinky?
Q: What do C6 & C5 Z06's have in common.
A: Molten hot interiors and sticky leather seats!
Three fold attack remedy -
Cooler material (get yer back & butt off the leather).
Protect aforementioned leather (for the next owner
).
Splash of red motif (in one fell swoop).
These are from CoverKing and can be removed faster that it takes to put them in (remember I carry a 1-5/16" Swiss Army knife).
Made from "Spacer Mesh"
they are custom made and a good fit considering they cost less then half of what I paid for the high end neoprene covers for Plain Jane (did I mention free shipping?).
The fabric’s first layer is a perforated nylon sheath that offers optimal breathability, keeping you cool, and is constructed so the deep perforations will create a spongy center that will contour to the shape of your body. The third layer strengthens the spongy center with a nylon lining, resulting in a three-layered seat cover that is water resistant as well as able to extricate both hot and cool air so your seats remain at a comfortable temperature. Plus, they are anti-microbial. (sounds kinda sexy, no?)
AND if I post a picture (hmm, where will I get one of those) on their Facebook page (that could be a problem) they will give me a free Vehicle Duster!!! And what self respecting waxer couldn't use one of those.

Nice looking covers and seems like they fit very well.

are these similar to the wet okole's that people were putting on their seats a few years back?

I didn't find the Neoprene covers to be much cooler than the leather.
Wet Okole's
Do you have side air bags in that seat? If so, I think you just disabled them!
There is a very loose flap of material over the seat airbag areas that just tucks into the rest of the cover.

They fit and are installed in a similar fashion but are a very different material compared to "wet suit" Neoprene.

Good thing I ordered the model specifically made for seats with side air bags then.

Gotcha, upon further review maybe I should have gone with the "wet Suit" material today?
