Slip on Seat Covers

I'm having problems finding anyone who makes a decent quality cloth (or preferably leather) slip on seat cover. My cloth seats are in almost perfect condition from having them covered with cheap ones for years. Now that I am restoring my car, I want to keep them covered, but do NOT want to recover the foam padding. All I can find are those postings where the actual seat is recovered. I just want a good quality slip cover that can have an embrodered 3d Gen logo or something like that on it (and a cut-out for the seat belt holder on the side). Does anyone make this to order so I don't have to resort to the basic Autozone / Wal-Mart junk?

you do know that you'll pay close to $200 just for the fronts???

go to coverking.com and look at what they offer. Then, add the product to the shopping cart to see the price. After doing that, go to Amazon.com and search for coverking seat covers where you will pay under $200 for the same product that you just reviewed on the coverking site.

It took about a week for my coverking covers to ship which I bought for my 4th gen. I reskinned the seats of my 3rd gen; I didn't use coverking because i got a fantastic deal on leather upholstery for the 3rd gen (see my thread)

Wow. I thought it would be a lot cheaper. I was running into those prices looking for seat covers for my 01 Corvette, but I thought that was just because it was a Corvette and everyone price gouges due to that. Thanks for the leads.

interiors are expensive. If I paid someone to re-do my interior it would have cost more than I am paying to have my engine and tranny rebuilt; no kidding.

tranny- since it worked when i yanked it- $400

engine- machine shop rebuilding it parts and labor- $1300
