seat covers: where to buy?

I'm noticing wear on the fabric of my driver seat where I kinda slide into it. I'd like to get some nice seat covers to protect them. Any suggestions? I'm wanting some that fit really nicely.

Be careful with the Wet Okole's. I hear they fade VERY easily.

There's a big *** tear in the leather in the location on the seat that you describe. There's also a lot of open cracks all over the place.

My drivers seat isn't doing so hot, it's about time to get a new one. I have this in mind...



I'll probably have it made up in cloth or whatever. I don't mind leather, but I don't care enough to pay extra.

Mike,
A guy on Ebay sometimes sells the leather seat covers for our convertibles. They usually go for about $65-70 and they are brand new. In a Mazda bag. He sells the cloth ones also as well as the different colors of leather.
I bought the backrest and seat bottom for my seats from him and am very happy. They are brand new and at that price, you can't beat it.
Otherwise, sheepskin, good quality, custom made is a great option. I have them on both my truck and RX7 and have had them on a variety of cars. Any color also and they protect the seat. Make sure you have'em custom made though. The stuff they sell at Walmart etc is basically no good usually with a wool backing or synthetic back.
