    Thanks,

    They are Katzkins and a little pricey. But you can't beat the fit.
    There is a group by going on for these.

    You can always get covers or have it steam cleaned?

    I would not be the one to put my face into cloth that has LORDKNOWSWHAT kind of fluid (bodily?) to take a whiff. EWww. You guys are gross.


    Anyway, Am I the only one who had the fabric on their seats treated? You guys are talking about how easy they are to stain, maybe after a good cleaning, that can be done? Take the seats to a professional upholstery magician and I'm sure he can treat them afterwards.

    Good luck and I hope they aren't too bad! :)

    I bought them but they wont arrive until late next week. Securing affordable shipping was the hardest part.

    Ill be sure to avoid burying my face in them when they arrive, you know, just to be sure there aren't any funky smells or germs or farts. :puke:

    Ill be sure to clean them up nice before installing, I promise. :washing:

    Update: The seats arrived and were dirtier than they appeared in the original pictures. Plenty of dirt and oily grime. The seats responded well to the Hoover SteamVac upholstery cleaner that I used. There are a couple of small tears in the mesh on the driver side but they will be covered soon by Wet Okole's. I plan on installing them this weekend.

    Thanks to everyone for the input. :D
