New Seat Covers

Hey everyone. I finally got a little free time & started working on my interior again. So here's before & after pics of my front seats. Let me know what you all think

Before pic with my dog on the seat



After pic with new covers(the angle of the seats in the pic make the covers look a little crooked, but it's not)

Looks great! Wasn't it a pain in the butt though? I did my Firebird's about 2 years ago and it was hard! The velcro was hard to get in a stay and then stick after zipped up. Good luck and the rear, they are harder. Andy

Andy-Yeah they were a pain in the...you know what!!! to get on. And yes there was a lot of "massaging & encouraging" going on to get the rear ones on straight

theSteve-You're right about the look on my dog. She did do something wrong & she was being punished. So I made her stay on the seat

Thanks for the compliments guys. Glad you like them I'll post more pics when I finish more.

Hey Daishi. The seat covers were from a company we have here called Wet Okole. The covers are custom fit for your car & are made somewhere on the west coast. So I'm assuming that's where they are based. No I did not have to take off my stock seat covers. These just slip right on. Sort of. They are made of the same type of material found on wetsuits so they are water repellent to a point. The chevrolet bow ties were extra to put on.

I went and looked at that companys site and it seams really easy for them to get the wrong thing for your car, and I don't even see firebirds on there just cameros but they do have the firebird symbol you can add onto the seats.

I'm working on that. I think I'm having a harder time with it cause my rear bottom seats are a little tweaked out & out of form.
