I am not much of a photographer, but I sure have fun with this car.
Here are some pictures of my fiberglass rear seat covers:

Here's mine, it's kinda hard to see the C/F inserts, I really need to get a good shot from a ladder or the roof.

Yep, the rear of the covers tuck under the deck lid (thieft deterrent) and the front simply lays across the opening. The front seat belts loop through "slots" at the front of the cover to keep them from lifting up and blowing away. I added a support that braces the center of the cover down to the rear seat cupholder to reduce the amount of "bouncing" the covers do, which reduces squeeking and helps prevent cracks from forming at the seat-belt slots (a weak point).

CF might look ok..I guess its really your choice..But to me they are over priced anyways...CF just adds to that...if it was me,I would save the money and use it to get it painted..which you have to do anyways even with CF.

Should have got the cover with woodgrain inserts to match that sweet interior...

Here are a few pics of mine. I also Have a light bar and we had to do some modding on the covers to make them fit.

I like the 30th anniv in the background. If I had a garage I'd use my stock cover.
