custom seat covers....

For all the guys out there with seat covers, what do you have ? I'm looking for something with a custom fit and that can take some abuse. I've searched around and haven't found anything to my liking.

I have a set of Cover King Ballistic Cordura seat covers. I bought it mainly for the durability. It fits really well, and the color is a good match. Appearance wise is probably OK, simply because that particular material isn't made for it's looks but rather for wear resistance. If appearance is a primary factor, there are no doubt other materials that look better.

These are the best I have seen. I've always wanted them, just never actually ordered them.

I have these and would buythem again in a second.

Marathon Seat Covers: Custom Truck, SUV Seat Cover specializing in Camo Seat Covers

short quick story:

screwdriver sticking thru my pocket and slid my rear across the seat. no damage no marks. I don't know how the neoprene seat covers would have held up to that.

Have you tried wetokole.com? I ordered from them for my 2011 and they are fantastic (but spendy). I had them for my last car too. The best thing is they have provisions for side airbags.

I have purchased a few sets of covers from GT covers: Custom Fit Car Seat Covers and Truck Seat Covers - Exact Fit Guarantee | GT Covers™
Very happy with them. The velour used on my 4Runner seat covers was OEM quality and has held up very well. Made in Colorado, FWIW - at least not China.

Here are a few shots. Note, the off color in a couple of the photos are the result of the light filtered though the tint of the windshield, not actually a part of the fabric.









This stuff is tuff. I've inadvertently jumped in the seat a couple of times with a screw driver sticking out of my back pocket, and you can't even see a mark. I'm sure it would have torn an ordinary seat cover!

What floor mats are those? I got weathertech ones but they don't cover the center hump but I do have stick so maybe no one makes one for that.
