Got these for Father's Day. Ordered from seatcovers.net. They are two piece, and even though they are universal fit, they are ordered specifically for your vehicle and then made for that vehicle. They have 3/8" foam backing.

Thank You, Ken. That is a diamond pattern. I didn't get to pick the color, but my but says AAAHHH, and that's what counts.

Looks good.

I just took a look at their website, they have some nice stuff.

Is it a full cover on the back too?

Thank You. The back of the seat is black foam, if that is what you're asking?

Not the back side of the cover, but does it fully cover the back portion of the seat. When you tilt your seat forward, what does it look like? I'm sure it's probably the black stretchy type of material on the back.

That looks super comfy...and a little trippy.

Drove 120 miles today, and they WERE comfy. I have to keep my eyes on the road so I don't have a flashback.

That's funny Doug....that's what I was talking about! smilietease

I see the diamond pattern on your door panels. That, combined with the new seat cover, with all the padding must make for a quieter ride also?...

congrats! :)

Thanks. It actually does make a little bit of a difference. I've never been one for loud exhaust, but it does seem quieter. Either that or I'm getting deafer. :)

Thank You, Bill. I've looked at them before, but they are kinda spendy, especially for a daily driver.
