Anyone know anywhere I can get good looking Seat Covers

I want to get some seat covers for my p5. I was cleaning my car and noticed that the seats fabric thin. Anyone know where I can get a good looking seat cover? Targets seems to have all of the ugly brown ones with funky patterns. I just want a black that will match the interior. I am surprised no japenese import ones have been made.

I posted this question a while back. It seems no one wants to talk about seat cover, since no one replied to my post

Please let me know if you find out anything. I saw some nice looking seat covers at Walmart the other day, but I didnt like the material...

If you want to replace the stock covers altogether, this place has some nice leather covers. http://www.leatherseats.com./

dang after searching online, all seat covers are fugly!

Darn, doesn't anyone make a seat cover that is black and looks good? How come seat covers got to be so damn ugly! I just want a solid black one that does not have some gawd ugly pattern. MNKBOY I feel your pain. LOL. The leather seats are nice but a overkill for a p5. This is not a is300. LOL

Problems with side airbags?

Would the seat covers be a problem if they cover the side airbags?

Probably. I have side airbags also, which is why I'm not considering the leather covers.

i was getting wax at a pep boys or auto zone or some where like that and i saw some P5 black seat covers. the only problem with them is they are also thin and they have a big silver dragon on them and the mazda symbol on the top right of the shoulder of it....it was a really odd place to put it and i dont think it looks all that great but they are out there

When you say P5 seat covers, do you mean covers that would fit a P5 or did it have P5 on it? Also, where exactly did you see them?

First things first

ALL SEAT COVERS ARE FUGLY!!

Break down and buy a Spearco or Momo seat for $259+.

Seat covers are for keeping your golden retrievers fur from going all over the place.

Better yet just wait 'til they wear out and then buy a seat cover (7 years later).

Wa-La!!!

Anyone know of any good tailors =)

Maybe they can custom some. Should be really cheap for materials, all we need is someone to measure and create some templates. I've thought of doing it myself, but I don't think I'd be good at making the templates. Sewing is easy (machine.. follow the lines??).

Just a thought =)

What about http://www.wetokole.com/ ???

You can get them with many colors, logos, and they are side air bag compatible.

Here's the one on VWvortex's Project Golf 1.8T:
