    +1 for Wet Okole = http://www.wetokole.com/

    I'd be more concerned about the air bag in the set than the heated part.

    Wet Okole does take that into consideration!

    Thanks for the feedback. I took a look at the Wet OKole site and saw that they have Neoprene covers. Are these better than a cloth type?

    And being new to the site, how do you get the cool pics with your posts?

    In the top toolbar (dark gray), click on Quick Links, and then Edit Signature. That'll give you a template to add text and a photo.

    Are you going for looks, or comfort or what?

    I've always been a fan of a big, soft, fluffy sheepskins, especailly if yu live where it gets really hot or really cold, like it does here in Kansas - where it does both!

    If you saw me bowl, you wouldn't want me to even wear a bowling shirt let along buy one.

    Do the Wetokole covers fit both the standard and sport seats on a 1st gen?

    I was on the site, and I don't see where it asks sport or standard. The photos all look like sport seats. But if my standard seats got sport seat bolsters, I'd be good with that:Thumbsup:

    I WILL :D The new seat covers will look much better if you are wearing a M/A Bowling Shirt. Order one (or two) at the M/A Store...you only have until 1/31 or you'll miss out.

    I know a couple of people who have owned those WO neoprene covers and took them off after a while - one complained of the smell and another just didn't like how they felt. One car was a Justa and the other a Justa Convertible...

    Based on Minidave's input, has anyone else hear of problems with the Neoprene covers? If so, any suggestions?

    I'll have to check out the Wetokole--Never seen 'em, and I've never seen a seat cover I like: they all seem to bunch up and slide to the side when getting in and out of the car.
