I thought leatherseats.com was doing a run of p-car seat replacement upholstery. It just wasn't clear if it was sport seats or standard. I had a dialog going with them.... IIRC It was going to be around $600 for the front seats.

i have had a set of wetOkoole (or however you spell it) on my 944t since it was new. they are great.........except over the years my white leather interior seats have been stained a little bit by the covers. the seats look new except for the dye that has bled through the leather in a few small spots. i didn't realize it was happening untill a couple of years ago when i decided to start showing the car in our local car show and removed the covers. i am told that i can have the stains removed but they are small enough and in spots that cannot be seen from looking through the windows.

yea me. read my post above. they are the best quality covers i have come in contact with....however.....they will stain the leather of your seats in spots. i don't know what caused them to stain in certain spots. i will look at the stains again and come up with a SWAG theory.
mine stayed on my 944t for 14 years.

I'll also chime in as a satisfied semi-long term user of some Wet Okole covers. I've had them about 2 years and I tell you what, not only does the interior look better but the seats are more comfortable. The neoprene grips surprisingly well, actually better than the OEM seat material. I think for $50 you're only going to find stuff that "kinda" fits - will likely have some play and looseness to them.

Hmm, I am looking for seat covers as well, I have 1 sport seat, 1 normal. And they are in good condition, only showing minor wear, and I would like to keep them that way, but for $240, I might as well just enjoy them, and recover them when they wear....

the covers seem to bleed through at the seams on the seat covers.

I've used Wet Okole's on various cars and have a set on one 951 now - great covers except the dye bleed issue that others mentioned. They're very good insulators, so don't burn you in AZ summer and now don't freeze me in CT winter.

I've had them for about a year. They are very high quality, fit like a glove, and even though they are expensive for seat covers, they do NOT look "cheap". I decided to put them on to cover a tear in the seat fabric until I can do a reupholstery of the interior. I have gotten several compliments from other vintage Porsche owners about the covers and they were quite interested in finding out who made them.

I got black with red piping, no logo.

My one complaint is that the material is heavy and doesn't breathe. So I have some butt-crack sweat when I get to work on hot summer days (I drive over an hour, shorter trips minimize it).
