seat cover suggestions?

Hey guys, I've been looking for a set of high quality seatcovers for my '94 4runner. I'm not sure if I like the looks of the wet okoles, so if anyone knows of a company that sells a good factory looking seatcover, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

If ya want the factory look. the dealer has OEM cover replacements. I bought some covers for the wifes Rav4 $209.88 front $209.88 back= OH ลลลล I paid over 400.00 in seat covers? from Coverking through Advance Auto Parts. They are Neophrene like Wet Okles, and they also have other materials to choose from.
Here is a link http://www.coverking.com/customseatcovers.html

I had a set of Wet Okoles in my civic for 4 years and I have to say that has been the best investment ever! I like the neophrene because it's easy to clean; and down here in Florida it can rain anytime and often does without notice

I got Wet Okoles and wasn't too impressed with them. They are holding up OK but one had very weak stitching and broke open while I was installing them.

I picked up some front seat covers for the Runner on Ebay one year ago this month. For the price ($69, $15 shipping), I didn't think they would hold up. However, they are still like new. Several people that have seen the covers thought I had replaced the worn leather from the factory seats. I'll look for some pix I took during the install.

The only downside: to get a tight, factory-like fit, the back and sides of the covers are made of elastic/spandex-type material that is a little lighter in color than the part on which you sit. The seller's Ebay name was iggeeseatcovers.

Here are some pix. Better late than never!

These covers have held up beyond my expectations.

Wow, those are really nice. Looks factory.

I have Okoles in the front and am waiting on a set from a member here for the rears. I love 'em though, but the smell of the neoprene the first couple days was pretty rough, but some nice weather and the windows down fixed that.

Wet Okoles. If you want to really "protect" your seats...if you just want to cover them, go to Walmart.

Thanks for the comments. The covers are pleather. I am rough on my truck and the seats, yet they've held up great in the 14 months I have had them in the Yota. For $69 + shipping (Ebay), I didn't expect much.

They still look as good as the day I put them in.
