They look pretty darn good from the pics.
I have a track also and am considering what to do with the seats. A lot of the aftermarket leather products look puffy. SO are you happy with them and the material ?


Do they go right over the stock seats or do you remove the stock seat covers ?


How much, where, and is it a DIY job ?

dh1111,

The material is top quality. It's neoprene. Water resistant and easily washable. It's padded, so you actually feel as though you're sitting a little higher. Quite comfortable.

I ordered this through my local WetOkole dealer. Check the website at www.wetokole.com . The price included the installation + Tax + Custom Logo. It came out to be ~ $320 for both seats. You can actually just order the seat covers and do it yourself. Very easy from what I was observing them do.

It actually goes over your original seats.

Very nice! Did they have to take your seats out of the car to install over your current covers or just slowly work the wet okole covers down over the seats. Looks like a nice, tight fit on your seats. I'm a bit concerned about the DIY install but I guess it would just take patience at working the covers down over your existing seats.

Ken,

Exactly! They just worked slowly down the seats. The covers are actually 3 pieces: 1) Head Piece 2) Back Piece 3) Seat Piece. They left the seats in place. Did not have to take them out .

They look good...But the material looks kind of shiny/slippery, i dont think i would like that. O and are there companies that make sideairbag friendly covers?

Maserom,

My CF Dash Kit was obtained from www.edashkit.com . I forgot the pricing, but it's listed on that site.

Kamikaz,

You should try to contact Wet Okole at www.wetokole.com . They can custom make the covers for side airbag seats, since they now have the pattern for the Z.

Look at the back of your mousepad. Most likely that is neoprene, too. Basically, that is what wet suits are made out of. Rubbery stuff that isn't slippery at all.
