Default Cheap seat covers

Anyone tried the costco seat covers? Do they fit? I'm looking to put some padding between my bum and the smoking hot leather seats.

You should go ahead and pony up for the Wet-Okoles. Lots of padding and protection.

It's only hot for a minute. Turn on your A/C. I would not cover up these beautiful seats.

For new.... If he bought them second hand in the FS forum, he could get some nice Volks with some mid-range tires for that price... Also depends on size....

Just tint the windows and get a windshield cover. I can sit inside my car in 120 degree vegas weather and not burn up after it sits in the heat for a few hours. Plus its berlina too

Otherwise, just throw a towel or something in there for temp use...I wouldnt put a cover over the seats

My solution was to get the windows tinted and then throw in a pair of the cheap grey/black Haiwaiian seat covers from Costco; they fit surprisingly well, and I like the extra padding under my butt.

You will have to remove the seat belt guide, put the seat cover on, and then reinstall the guide by "screwing" through the seat cover material.

Initially, I also did order (and return) a set of the more expensive "custom fit" CoverKing neoprene seat covers, but quickly went back to my Costco cheapies because they fit nice and snug.
