Default Anyone bought Igee Seat covers???

Anyone bought these Igee seat covers?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSC...02789717QQrdZ1

Do they look nice in person? I have Op-Art seats that are torn, so I need something to cover it for now. Am I better off taking my $179 to pepboys and getting some generic sport seats for now? I just want something that looks decent (NOT TORN ) and is comfortable. What do you guys think??

Default Wet Okole covers

www.wetokole.com

great durable waterproof (gore-tex) seat covers

Had mine for years, dark colors are best, material is like neoprene (wetsuit) material. (The light colors show wear/discoloration too quickly in my opinion)

Now that I look at the site for Iggee, they may be even better. One tip, call them and ask if they'll mail you sample's of the color and material. Wet Okole will send a sample and it tells you alot regarding interior color matching.

Good Luck!

Thanks Tlee, I was looking at wet okole ones too, but I am not a fan of the wetsuit look on my seats. They are also $60 more than igee.

I bought Igees in Navy Blue for my 87 S4. Very pleased with the fit and look, however the
material is VERY thin and I already have a small cut in the driver's side back rest. If they
could beef up the quality of the material this would be a super product. Still, I think they
are the best out there for the money. What I really like is that they stay in position with no
sliding around.

I have seen these on 2 cars and they are VERY nice... only concern I have is the location of the hole to tilt the seat forward, it's designed for new models and not the ob's... I contacted them about this and they won't get back to me

I like the fact that they stay in position. Thanks everyone, I think I am going to order some soon.

I have a set of the Iggee's in black. I'm not a fan of vinyl/PVC seatcovers but the quality seems good and they fit well. My Pascha seats are trashed and the car had some funky old sheepskins when I bought it. Iggee's right down the street from me so I gave them a shot and am fairly pleased.

I keep toying with the idea of getting these, and probably will to protect the pascha seats I just bought. But what about the OB fitment issues above? Can you get versions specifically for original manual seats?

I gave them the year of the car and the seat covers are a perfect fit on the button. Well, the driver's back cover has slid down a little, but it started out perfect and the passenger side is still good.

Can you include a photo of the driver's seat after a year of use? How many miles of sitting on it is that in a year?

The color you have doesn't appear to be available here:

Can you get them in any color?

They're the solid black.

I've only had them in a couple of months, but I'll get a photo of the drivers side and post here but they still look new other than the drivers side back sliding down a half inch or so. I'm sure I could probablyl adjust that, I've just had bigger issues on to deal with lately.
