Type S interior...uh oh

questions, comments, flames welcomed

i needed somethin to protect the seats for cheap, and it doesn't look bad, except for the big S which i'd like to cover up somehow.

I dont think they look bad - certainly better than soiled/torn seats.

They don't look too bad at all. Really tho, if you like 'em, and they do what you want them to, that's all that matters. Heck, I have seats in my car that got a big "R" on 'em. www.geocities.com/jcargile2001/seats.html

It looks like those covers are made out of vinyl, so you could try either vinyl paint or dye on the "s" part. If it were black I bet you'd hardly notice it at all. If anything it'd look more like a design than an 'S'.

Not bad, I think black carpet would help, though... other'n it haveing a slightly misplaced color coordination, it looks all right. Better than ripped and stained seats... like mine...

I got a set as well to cover up the tears on the seats in my 88 Formula.
I went with the gray/black ones since my interior is gray/black.



They fit much better after you've been sitting in them. This pic was taken a few minutes after they were installed.

i actually find my seats more comfortable now since putting the covers on, and they look good for my car. IMO it was money well spent.

Those look pretty good imo, what other colors do they have besides the red and gray combos?
