    I went over to Pepboys and bought some $40 dollar covers to replace the old worn out OEM ones. They of course fit horribly and somehow the completely ripped and tattered old ones looked better than new baggy ones.

    What is a good place to get snug (enough) seat covers? I'm not looking to spend much, definitely under a hundred.

    Glad I kept the OEM ones on the seats over the years, the cloth seats are absolutely pristine. The seats looked as new as the day they rolled off the line at NUMMI.

    I started using the Cabela's universal fit ones. good enough for me and $20-30 each is a decent enough price.

    I don't have any pics handy but they are OK

    I'll take some pictures when I get home. They have string ties on the side and adjustable straps on the bottom. So all-in-all they fit as good as the seat lets them :D

    There's a group buy on wet okoles going on you may want to check out. They are much more pricey than $40, but they fit perfectly and look nice.

    I'd love to pick up some wet okoles, but I don't know if I'm ready to drop $250 on seat covers.

    Yeah I get that. It depends on how much aesthetics matters. The Wet Okoles, at least to me, look really nice and I've read add a bit of comfort due to the neopreme. Cons: traps heat, feels warmer (could be good if you are in a cold climate), and pricey.
