Has anyone here had custom seat covers made. Not fluffy sheep. But just a cloth in nice colors that will protect the leather and keep the sun from making them into surfaces that burn your legs when wearing shorts?

I am not speaking of off the shelf covers, but custom made in nice material that contours to the shape of sport seats with deep lumbar support.
  • How much were they?
  • Are you happy with them?
  • Where did you get them?
  • Got any pictures?

In the sunbelt areas - custom made seat cover shops are all over.

I have had custom seat covers made on two of my vehicles.

As far as heat on leather. Just get a nice towel and place on seat when you exit vehicle. Done.

I had custom seat covers made for my last vehicle. I owned a convertible with a black interior and lived in Dallas TX. Talk about hot seats when wearing shorts. The covers were neoprene and were made by Wet Okole. They were well made and the company repaired any problems that occurred while I owned them, with only a $25 shipping fee charged.

I'd like to buy a set for my new car, but have not been able to find any company that makes them for this car, despite hours of Googling. :-(

Neoprene is not a "hot" material?

I was surprised also. It was actually comfortable, much more so than hot vinyl or leather. Although it's the same material as a SCUBA wetsuit, it is thinner.
