Default Seat covers?

Anyone ever tried the Covercraft brand seat covers that Performance Products sells? I would like to see a picture of them installed, but on their site they only show what looks to be a 914 seat. Would like to hear any feedback on them aswell, or any suggestions on decent seat covers for that matter.

I know some place sells seat covers that fit 944/911 style seats and they look very much like the seats' stitch/cushion pattern. Basically it's a throw-on cover that looks like a stock seat. I need to find some of those for the 944. The Racing seat cover from Kragen just looks ghetto.

Really? Look at those things - the sample pictures are horrible - each and every seat shows some indication of too much material.

I'm no expert at this, but if you can't even show decent looking installation job on your own site/auction/whatever, what chance do I have in making your stuff work properly?

I'm not overly **** about most things in the car (I want them right, but I don't have to have concours), but ill-fitting seat covers are bad bad bad. Its the kind of things that gets used too much to not be 100% perfect. They start bunching/stretching, then you have a crease that you're sitting on, then the crease decides it wants to stay there, etc. I've had too many vehicles with crappy seat covers (out of necessity) that I'll never go back to that.
