Default Scuba Seats from Hawaii!!

Hey all,
Here's some pics of my latest mod. These seats are made out of hi quality Neoprene (scuba suit) and were made by a company called Wet Okole (www.wetokole.com). They were not too hard to install, and I think they look great! What do you think?

Those look totally pimp!
I can;t say that I'll ever get in my car wet enough to need those sort of seats, but they look cool as hell!

Doesn't it get kind of hot sitting in those seats for a long time?

Hehe, wet okole, seat covers of choice in Hawaii. Your the second person I've know about with those. The other ones Frank (fdao) here in Hawaii, and funny enough, he has a Redline Track also.

Actually, I just got them, so I'll let you know. I don't imagine that they'll "breathe" much worse than the carbon cloth though.

I'm betting that they'll still be better than leather.

Shipped they were $294. The Euro-style piping and the logo cost a little more to get than the plain-jane seats, but I think they were worth it...

Ummm....was there a problem with the stock seats, or did you just want a new color? They kind of hide all teh cool details of the awesome stock seats.

I actually did it for two reasons....One, I like the logo/color. Two, I know there have been complaints of durability on the carbon cloth seats, so I figured this would extend their life. They're a very snug fit, and not too terribly difficult to get on and off (now that I know how to do it)

I love mine, they are not hot, but they do hold you in place. And even though you might not be wet it helped me theother day when a soda spilled and the cover just held it without being soaked in.
