I'm in Auburn so I'd like to stick with something in the south end.

Looking for places to either buy and/or have seat covers installed.
Online didn't help any because: no hands on and about a billion choices.

Front buckets on a Honda CR-V.

I know a guy that does custom upholstery in Parkland. I'm sure that if you can find something off the shelf he can install them properly and make it look good

He can make a custom set but that might be more than you want to spend

I'd say check car toys but that might be a crap shoot

The seats themselves are in great shape. Firm & comfy. Not broke down, even on the outside where people tend to slide off and out.
The cover material is just plain 'ol wore out.
Pick n Pull don't have anything listed right now. I haven't checked the local yards yet, though.
CL and OU are dead ends.

Knowing what i do about auto upholstery and as you have probably figured out no good options are gonna be cheap.....Id look at the recommended wet okole but your probably gonna be $500 into it as a minimum. Thats why seats from another vehicle might look like a decent option if they can be found.

I’ve seen some car dealers selling new cars that come with cloth seats with Kat Skinz in them. They’re nice leather and for the whole car, it’s like a $2000 add on. So figure direct price from Kat Skinz is probably closer to $1000-1500.

Homework done.
Read many Wetokole vs Coverking. Almost dead even @ 50/50 with the edge going towards Coverking. Mostly due to price.
Then... I find this:
https://www.costco.com/Coverking-Custom-Fit-Seat-Covers-3-Different-Materials-To-Choose-From.product.11618905.html
Genuine Neoprene Wetsuit is actually cheaper on Costco's website than anywhere else I've looked. Not to mention their return policy can't be beat.
Looks like this might be the way to go.

toys in the toybox got it right with the suggestion of looking for a donor mobile.

I guess the moons lined up just right as I started my search.
Saw an ad that I saw before but skipped over because it didn't look right. This time I opened it and read thoroughly.
I pinged the guy, set a time to go look see and proceeded to go feast on the dead carcass.

Front seats - heated
Rear seat
Front and back OEM floor mats
Heated dash push buttons for the front seats
All hardware and covers

Oh... did I mention they were all leather in 95% condition?
Also, all that came out of the SAME YEAR as I have!

:party:
