    Aftermarket seat covers....

    I'm interested in buying some aftermarket seat covers. These would be for my Chevy Impala (and possibly a set for the wife's Dodge Charger).

    I normally don't care for aftermarket seat covers but I really need something durable for the Impala since police duty belts tend to tear up civilian-style seat material pretty quickly. I want my interior to stay in good condition so the car is still a nice car when I pass it down to my daughter in five or six years. (My wife thinks she wants/needs seat covers for her Charger, but I think she's just on the buy-all-the-accessories-you-can-find-for-your-new-car bandwagon.)

    I want something durable, but also something that looks and fits well, such that it doesn't give that cheesy aftermarket appearance. Hopefully it'll be hard to tell the seat covers are there.

    Anyhow have any opinions or personal experience with aftermarket seat covers? Which brands are best? Which material works best?

    Thanks in advance!

    I don't have any experience with their seat covers, but AutoSport has a pretty good selection of them. You might want to check them out.

    I'm very happy with the berber floor mats I bought from them, they are well made and seem to be holding up well.

    Take a look in a JCWhitney catalog, not necessarily to buy from them, but they used to have a wide selection of seat covers. You can pick out manufacturers names and investigate from there.

    High quality seat covers though can be as expensive as having an upholsterer make some up for you. If you have some made you have a larger choice of durable materials.

Looks like there's been a serious splintering. I never thought it'd be possible for this to happen to a group of owners of a car model that sold no more than 14000 copies over 2 model years. Kind of scary, when thinking of the scale. Makes one think that maybe it'd be a good idea to do some introspection and think about what each of us needs to do to build a solid community, analyze what it is we're all honestly looking for by belonging to this community.

    Beware of seat mounted side airbags. I honestly don't know either of the cars you mentioned, but if the airbag deploys from the seat bolster (like ours), then don't put a seat cover on it.
