Type-S seat covers

Has anyone seen these?
They are just the covers you pull over the seat
But they look nice
In particular there is a universal bench seat cover they make in a nice looking simulated leather
It sells for $34.99
They also have matching bucket seat covers for $19.99 a piece

So anyone have experience with these?
I would like new seats but the cash it not there right now
So let the comments begin

You do realize the word filters are there for a reason, right?

***MOD EDIT***

You got that right, Metalli!

I have seen them on cars before. Here is what happens:
They look great and conform to the seat perfectly the first month or two or three. After they get worn a couple times they become loose and look worse than your old seat did. All loose and wrinkled. Than you just look cheap.

Do they have a snug fit?
Or do they flop around?

I also have them in my car. Mine are slightly different from zepher's. They fit pretty good, although I'm considering using some hognose loops to pin them down to the seats a little better.

Out of the box they have a little flap with a tube in it that ideally would keep them pulled tight between the seat bottom and back... it usually does the job. they have elastic bottoms, so no hooks etc.

My interior is black, seats are brown, and when i realized my camaro is now only a money pit (subframe + suspension badly rotted, engine screwed up, a wiring nightmare, broken everything, etc...) I went with seat covers instead of new seats.

My only complaints:
1. the bottom looks like a seat cover (although that is to be expected)

2.they get clingy when my leather coat is wet from rain or snow (more clingy than a real leather seat would be)

Hope that helps.
