Default Seat Covers Anyone?

My seats are in decent condition -- and I'd like to keep them that way as long as possible. Wondering if anyone is using seat covers for your 996? Like to hear your suggestions on brand -- and if you have any photos that would be great.

I am looking at these Covercraft Seat Gloves

http://www.covercraft.com/seatgloves.htm

But would prefer something in a solid color.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I really like that. Most of my wear issues (from a presumably very wide PO) are on the sides of the seat area -- the back is just fine.

In a Forum search, others have suggested a full neoprene cover from Wet Okole. They seem to fit pretty tight and look clean. Any users out there?

Won't those things conflict with air bags?

I don't think they would affect the air bags. The side bags deploy from the doors.

I didn't know that the 996 doesn't have any ABs in the seat sides.
