Seat covers 78 spider

Post by psg »

I looked at IAP's seat covers and in the box they look sturdy and pretty nice. I am changing from a tan set of seats to black. Does anyone know if the covers completely cover the seat so the tan would not show? The fellow I talked with was not sure how well they cover the original material. psg

If you are talking about the slip on covers I would definately pass. I had a set on order and was told a few weeks and after 6 weeks I cancelled the order. I happened to see a set over the summer and they look and fit much better in the photo. Others may have a different opinion but I am definately glad they jerked me around and I cancelled the order.

I've not used these, but the price seems to be right.

thanks for the response. I like the idea of not using slip-ons especially for that price which does seem reasonable. thanks. again. psg

I used these from Worlduph.com

Definitely a good replacement to the OE ones that came off the car.
