Default Seat covers for 350ZR

Hey guys, I searched this topic but didn't really find what I was looking for. I have an 06 350ZR triple black and I live in southern CA where it can get to 100+ in the summer.

I'm looking for a way to make it so the seat doesn't get so hot. It doesn't affect me so much but my girlfriend makes the complaint that it burns her legs when she wears shorts. So I'm thinking of seat covers maybe? Any recommendation on materials? thanks

But seriously, any fabric seat cover material should be fine.

HAHAHA funny you say that cuz i had a sweater in the trunk we used that...

I find the seat covers on ebay to be kinda dubious at best so I dont want wanna go that route I still want it to look nice and have an ultra snug fit. Drives me crazy to have a seat cover that slides around.

Since you live in CA,you may want to check with the Z Store.They used to have some slip on water resistant seat covers.I'd also think yoou could buy some universal slip overs
just to make do.May look pretty crummy...like a terry material.But may keep your
girlfriend from bustin your chops!

These neoprene covers are great. I use them in my Alfa Spiders (black suede seats in South FL), and they're very comfortable. I don't drive those cars much, but my buddy has had a set in his Toyota 4Runner for almost 10 years, and they wear like iron.

Someone in the socal marketplace is selling oem cloth seats for 250, I would just jump on those, easy plug and play and doesn't look like a blanket wrapped over seats. I'm in Cali too and was thinking about getting red leather katskin seat covers to replace my cloth seats, never considered it being super hot since I never had a car with leather seats, but it looks so nice tho. Second option, aftermarket race buckets with cloth fabric lol

Hopefully better late than never for someone else to see this, but I've been using sheepskin seat covers for a while now!

There are a bunch of places you can get them, but Auto HQ is in my area.
