Seat Covers

What are guys using for Seat Covers...

I remember I use to have a set of sheep skin gray covers and really liked them. Pictures would be great, I want to get a set for the GN and I am looking to see what you guys like.

I bought the black and grey seat covers that are a darker version of our seats from a board member. I think Kirbans sells the same thing for around 40 bucks.

I just use gray towels over my seat. You can find them cheap in some home or department stores. The reason for not using sheep skin is that the material embeds into your clothe seat material and deteriorates them (this was explained to me by an upholsterer). If you use any thing to cover them, IMHO, a poly cotton material will work best and is durable. The Kirban units are poly cotton, just more than I wanted to spend. Also, I would be just as concerned about the top of the rear seat and package tray.

Cool Joe, I really feel in love with the sheep-skin ones I had on the Monte Carlo SS in my youth

I have seen Kirbans, kinda blah and no emblems either

You think the sheep-skin would be okay for a NOT DAILY driver

I would have the wife sew on the headrest a GN patch

Sheep skins will probably do just fine, but you have to remember to remove them every once in a while and clean the upholstery. I suggest getting an acid dip brush (home depot) or a small corn row type dust broom. The dust broom or brush will sweep material out of the seat cloth that a vacuum cleaner cannot get to. Additionally it fluffs up the seat upholstery. You can also use the brush to sweep and clean the carpet and follow with a vacuum cleaner. Try it, it will make the upholstery material look cleaner than it's ever looked.

I have a full set of Slip-on seat covers in my car...front and back. The name is kinda misleading because they really aren't slip-on. I had to take my seats out to put them on correctly, but they are the best looking GN covers I have seen. The front seat covers look like factory but have a slightly different texture. The rear seat cover looks ok, but it doesn't fit quite as snug as the front ones do. They cost $110 at www.jaxseatcover.com. I also bought the headrest covers, but they are plain black and don't have the turbo 6 emblem.....I haven't put them on.

They look pretty nice. Do you have a photo, the larger picture option is not working on the Jax site.

I'll try to get a couple of photo's for you. To be honest, I'm not sure how to do it so I will have to wait till my wife gets home later. If you click on the pictures on Jax's site, it enlarges the pictures.
