Wet Okole's, not from Performance Products, straight from Wet Okole! You can totally customize them for color scheme.

I still have a set of late burgundy sport covers for $100 off. I have not got around to putting them up on ebay yet. Chances are you don't have "burgundy sport" seats but I figured I would put a word in anyway.

does anybody know how well the wet okoles stay secure? Just about every seat cover I've seen shift and slide off all the time. I guess for that price they won't but does anyone have any first hand experience?

Yeah, i think Performance Products over charges too. Go straight from wetokole. They fit perfectly. I have them on my seats. Very comfortable, and the look like the stock seats in stitch pattern, etc...

They are very tight, there is a little play in them, but very slight. I have had them on during autocross and track with no problem whatsoever in shifting! They are handmade, and basically made to be like a second skin on your seat. Its neoprane, like a wetsuit. Ever worn one dry? Same thing.

Wet Okele Covers are great. If I was at home I would post a link.
I have had their covers in my cab since I got it three years ago. The ones I got didn't have cut out for the seat controls or back releases. I did some cutting and then unscrewed the control panel and slipped the cover under it. Since my car is a rag top I just left the seat back releases covered.
The back panels are very easy to put on. I found that the seat bottoms were easiest to install by pulling the seats. If you don't want to or can't so that then slide the clasp all the way to the rear. Put the cover on the seats. Staighten out a coat hanger and slide under the seat. Tape the front strap to the hanger and pull back through to the rear. Then get your hand under there and snap the clips together.
Like I said, it's easier to pull the seat. Plus when you do that you can install your BK Fire Extinguisher Mount and sweep under there as well.
There has been some fade in the red panels. I haven't used the Wet Okele UV protector or shampoo products so that may have helped. Panels can be recovered at $40 a piece.
