I bought them from seatcovers.net. They fit well. I am very happy with them. They took a little bit of time to install but the results are great.

They kind of look like Iggee Brand seat covers

I'm hoping it's just the pics but they don't look any better than the $50 Autozone covers. Just my opinion, Sorry.

Agreed, for that price you could've bought a real aftermarket seat for at least the drivers side and it would've looked 100 times better.

Shoot, they look better than the four sets of off the shelf ones I've tried. Everything fits these thin *** seat backs like a Hefty sack. I finally caved and ordered a $110 set of custom made Coverkings. Should be here in another week or so.

I think it is probably just the pictures. They fit really good. I am happy with them.

I think those look awesome! I'm in need of some cheap-er solution to my seats. How was the install? Fitment? Any other feedback?

They are a two piece cover so install was easy. Bottom has two straps that wrap front to back and connect with draw tight clasps, and an elastic piece with hook on each side towards the rear that loops under and clips to whatever. Top slides on and has a fabric piece that goes between the seat back and bottom on the front side, then up behind the back to secure with velcro. Worst part was trying to find the holes for the seat belt guide.

They are just a dual layer mesh, nothing fancy. They stay cooler than some others also. Mainly trying to prevent the too common bolster wear on the leather and keep whatever dirt I pick up at work crawling around from getting on the seats. Tried four different sets off the shelf and through ebay that all fit like ***. Gave in and spent a little more for custom ones and am very happy. Will probably eventually to the houndstooth replacement covers from Hawk's then I don't know what I'm going to do about keeping them clean. Car is a white convertible with black top.
