Default Seat Covers

Can you guess who these belong to? I will post one hint today and one tomorrow. Good luck but there is no prize just the pride of being right.

Very cool Jimmy! You don't like the leather?

Rehile wins. They were delivered to me, not Jimmy. I needed a warm garage to install and asked Jimmy to volunteer.

My drivers seat is begining to crack and show signs of wear and age, even though I condition leather regularly. Did a bunch of research and determined that Wet Okole is the best fit for this car.

You can find them here!. I did customize with the red piping and S2000 logo which are extra.

My cost, without any discounts was $278 shipped. I'm very happy with these an believe they are worth the $$$. Have already noticed that the seats feel much warmer during these cold months and would expect that the feel cooler during hot months. If we get a mass order of 10 or more, we can probably get a bulk discount through him. PM me if you are interested.

If interested in more information, search the "Sponsor Group Buy" forum for "Seat Covers" or "Wet Okole"

SWEET! I'm guessing the contours are due to extra padding under the covers? They look way cool, like you may be missing a four point seat belt restraint! What about air flow in the head rest? Any chance to drive with the top down (stupid question ... )

Contour of the seat has changed a bit due to the extra padding sewn into the inside of the covers. The seat are a tighter fit now. You also sit hight and closer to the wheel. Not by much, but noticable. Ar flow/padding in the head rest area should not be a problem, actually a bit more comfortable since you now have the extra material.

Only thing that may become a problem is that you loose the use of your back seat pockets. I never used mine anyways.

Looking forward to test these baby's out this summer
