Default Good Seat covers

Anybody have experience of nice, attractive and durable seat covers that would fit in a truck (Suburban, specifically)? I think there are some people that have seat covers in their S2000. Is it a brand that you would recommend? (Assuming they make them for trucks/suburbans)

Thanks!

Friend of mine used Wet Okole's in his work trucks (he owns a concrete contracting company).

I bought some seat covers for a F-150 I owned from autoanything.com. They carry inexpensive to expensive in a variety of materials.

Oh, I forgot to ask... do you know of any place that sells them locally? It'd be nice to see them before buying.

My wife got me a pair for the S2000 Dec 2007. After the summer of 2008 they were faded really bad. They were yellow and black. The yellow matched the spa yellow of my car and the black was well black. Now the yellow is just a few shades above white and the black is now a medium grey. For the price that they were I would expect them to keep there color for longer than one summer.

I had a Miata and looked into the Wet Okole's at one point. I wouldn't recommend them in a convertible because they are susceptible to UV damage. In an enclosed car, they last much longer. I asked my friend if his had faded in his truck, and they never did.


Got this directly from Wet Okole's website.

Do seat covers fade?

Use Wet Okole UV protectant to substantially reduce fading. Ultra-Violet Radiation damages more than just your skin. With prolonged exposure to the sun, your seat covers can become damaged by the sun
