Besides Wet Okole, what other choices are there for nice seat covers? I have had my black Wet Okole seat covers for almost 10 years now, and finally the driver side side bolster got ripped so bad that it made the car look cheap, so I finally took them off and tossed them, they were pretty discolored already anyways.
Now I am looking for new ones. I am thinking of going with the same ones, except instead of going all black with red Z28 emblem I want to get them black with red insert for the seating surfaces.
I don't drive my car much, it hardly ever sees the sun since it's garaged all the time and I usually only use it at night, so fading really shouldn't be much of a problem this time around.
But besides Wet Okole, does anyone know another company that sells seat covers specifically made for our seats?

Yeah, but from what I see there, those covers replace the original seat covers and don't just get pulled over them like the Wet Okole ones. I am not really an upholsterer, lol.
Also, I did at katskinz, and under the Chevy section they list anything BUT a Camaro!

I can't find those pics right now. But you can look at the customer pics on wet okoles website. I have the same ones in my truck still, might take a picture of those when I have some time, but for now, I'd say just check out their site for pics.

I've been in an early 90s 4runner with the wet okole covers and almost ordered a set for my previous car before it was totaled. Anyways they are a nice item and like said you don't have to reupholster. Its like a custom neoprene wetsuit for your seats.

i just ordered the hawks kit for my T/A today. dark graphite with perforated inserts. they should look oem in my car. $424 shipped for the set and i just need to take the fronts to an upholstry shop to have the plastic side accordian pieces switched over.
i wonder how hard they will be to install? did you have to do anything with the hogrings and what not? i'm guessing the camaro seats are a little easier to deal with than the T/A ones due to not having a headrest.
