Aftermarket Seat Covers

I've been looking through old threads but I couldn't find any advice on aftermarket seat covers. I am trying to find a good quality cover that looks good. Too many covers out there are "one size fits all" and it's obvious when you put them on. Looking for something that has a more stock appearance. Any recommendations?

 

Most members go Wet Okole neoprene seat covers. A couple of other companies make neoprene seat covers also like Caltrend and Coverking among others. All three of those companies make seat covers that are custom fit to our trucks. If you are looking for custom fit leather, you can go Clazzio, which is a custom fit seat cover, or Katzkin which is a leather replacement aka replaces your existing fabric. Katzkin is typically installed by a professional shop but can be installed yourself if so inclined.

 

What are you into and what do you need? rugged, cushy, waterproof ?

The Oe line by Fia is custom fit for our vehicles and is a tweed/nylon saddle blanket material. Pretty much 'classic work truck' look.

The neoprene ones (like Wet Okole) will be more comfortable as they are 8mm thick neoprene and cushy as shit.

If you want something that will be tough as nails and good to wipe off dog hair easily, look at Covercraft Seatsaver.

I have Wet Okole's up front for a good look and cushy ride for the bride and me. In the back I have the covercraft seatsavers which are great for brushing off dog hair, and sliding stuff across. I like both for their own purposes. I have Fia Oe in my last truck and they are good, but cheaper and inferior to the 2 I have now.

 

There is always a Wet Okole group buy that pops up on TW from time to time. If I was to guess I would say the next one would be in the Septemberish time frame??

 

I stumbled upon a thread for Katzkin leather seats (it was a group buy) that look awesome. If I had the coin I would go with these, and likely will down the road.

I just cancelled my Caltrend Neoprene order on Amazon because of you haha. God damn those look good.

 

I've had Clazzios on my last two Tacos. They're my favorite mod to date. I considered Wet Okole, but I have a 80 lb. doberman that would make short work of the neoprene. The leather holds up really well to him and me and cleans up super easy. I don't baby the leather either, just a little armor all twice a year and spot cleaning when it needs it.

 

Great. Everybody's getting leather seats but me. Screw you guys!



Post up some pics if you get them so I can be even more envious.

 

Note - I just found a more up-to-date thread for these leather covers:

How tight are the wet okols or when you slide in do they bunch up at all?

 

Marathon. I don't think they're the most popular on here, but mine have held up for 4 yrs with 2 dogs....still look new.

I love my Wet Okoles. Not sure I'd say they look stock but that's not really what I was going for either. They do not bunch up and are very comfortable.

 

I got mine from here:

Not as expensive as leather but not cheap. They are tailor made and fit nice without sliding around or bunching up.
It was also the only place I found the digital black and white camo material I went with
Sorry, don't have any pictures of them I can get to this weekend.

 

/\ that's what I'm looking for. Those look great and I really like the TRD logo. Color is even what I was thinking.

 

oh wow, but, are those stitched in? i'd think that stitching words on the seat covers would make it less durable...won't the seats rip faster?

 

How do the neoprene seats feel in the summer when its hot out? Are they considerably warmer than the thinner factory fabric? Not trying to promote back sweat if i can help it.

 

my boyfriend has neoprene seat covers and they are way better than the leather seats he originally has in his accord. my legs don't stick when i wear dresses and stuff and i don't have to worry about back sweat on him anymore

 

What colors are those?
