Well after I had some bad luck and the 10 years of wear in my seat I needed to do something. A quick shopping trip to Ebay and lots of shipping payments, I ended up with these not so universal covers. They're a synthetic leather and look better in person. If you've gone shopping for seat covers you'll know that unless you want R-type or some stupid shag cover there's no place to get em.   They don't match the door fabric, but that's okay because everything else in the car is tan and black.

gotta say,for some covers,those don't look too bad. But please,and I'm a stickler for seat quality just because I build seats for a living....please atleast attempt ironing them so they're not so wrinkly. I spend enough time at work ironing seats,so no,I won't do it for you.

Hmmmmmmmmm. I guess you didn't see the part that there sythetic leather and the wrinkles are part of the look,
just like real leather has wrinkles.
Unless I get the rear seat proffesionaly done there not much I can do as the back of the rear seats have
no attachment points. Also had to cut hole in the cover to pull the seat belt buckles through.

There's a CEG ad for leather SE seats in Michigan. They are tan and from a 1995 SE so they have the tight bolsters. No price was mentioned though.

lol,it may be synthethic,but I dunno,I see some pretty damn deep creases on the rear cushion and the rear seatback that even a real leather seat would be able to have ironed out. The front seats look good though.
The SRT8 and Daytona RT seats we make are vinyl,and they're wrinkly as crap after we roll them,but take about 20 minutes with a steamer and iron and they come out without a wrinkle on them.
