Seat Covers
Hi
I have been searching the internet for some seat covers. My car will be here soon and I want to have seat covers ready.
I have the GT2 seats and all I can find are the towels, I really don't want to put those on the seats.
Has anyone found a nice set for their car?
Thanks Dennis

Why would you cover up perfectly nice seats? The seat cooling vents won't work either.

Suggest a towel for your above times of need. No way I'm covering a 1500 upgraded seat with beautiful Carbon insets with a cover.

A furniture store could probably get you some nice, custom-fitted clear plastic slipcovers.

I purchased and use the below just for when I drive my C8 to the gym. I'd never purchase/install leave on seat covers, because they look just like seat covers and that's not the look I'm want in a sportscar.

To protect those nice seats from stains and wear and tear. Not much use in Alaska for cooling seats.

what color did you buy and was there any color transfer from the covers to the seats? I want to get some for when go to the gym or running. I sweat a lot.

I bought red for my 2LT red interior, no color transfer but I recommend washing before use. Same here as I'm about soaked after a workout, I use them in both my C8 and Tacoma but only when I go to the gym, or will use them if either ever needs to go to the dealer for service or repair.

I don't know, been working out 6-7 days per week for 33 years so kind of hard to just give it up.

Nope, I like to keep them like new for me, because that's the way I like my stuff.

I plan to get these to protect the areas that get constant high load traffic. I've used similar for past cars and when I sold them, the protected seats remained like new. I'm getting Comp seats so these will slightly raise the seat's midsection and make the aggressive bolstering slightly less severe.

I have these in our Cadillac and Truck. Work great but won't work on the GT2 seats because of how wide the top is without a headrest.
I would love to not use anything, but spending this much on a car, I want to protect everything I can.
Told my wife, ABSOLUTELY NO, no fancy pocketed jeans are getting in this car.

I don't blame you for wanting to protect the seats from unnecessary wear and tear. Good luck finding something that works for you.
