Default Quality Seat Covers

Hello all,

I have been looking for a good quality seat slip cover for my 01 XJ8. My seats are in perfect condition and want to preserve them. I want something that will match and feel somewhat realistic. Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion where to purchase.

Thanks Shawn

Mine are shot and i'm re-upholstering them for $2400 front and rear inserts with cross stitch pattern, memory foam in the front also.

My seats were worn/dried out, but not torn, when I picked up my VDP (AZ sun). I've never seen a seat cover that fits nice, doesn't shift, and generally speaking, doesn't look like crap. Reupholstering was too much money to invest on the old car. So I bought COMPLETE interior (and I am talking ALL seats with tracks, motors, switches, etc. door pannels, center console,.....EVERYTHING, for five bills. And it came out of the car with 25K on the clock. The stuff is like new. That was BY FAR the best option for me.
Now,....the way I keep my leather (Ivory) clean and conditioned,....this stuff WILL outlast the rest of the car. No worries.

As far as seat covers? Like I said,.......nothing out there that I would even consider.

...and enjoy them. With the proper care they will last as long as you do!

I keep a blanket on the back seat to protect it from my dog, but the front seats are "bare." I repaired the driver's seat but wish I could find a "perfect condition" one for a good price so I could replace it.
