Seat Covers
So I have the sport seats in my 2000. The stitching is starting to open up & the embroidered letters in the center sections are starting to fray. I used to have Wet Okoles covering them, but one of my IWB holsters managed to shred the driver's seat cover.
What are the alternatives? |

Seat covers from Mid America or the like run less than $70.00 and are easily installed. Otherwise you search like I did and find someone who replaced their original covers with custom covers and have them installed. I was fortunate to find someone who had removed their covers in under a year and store them properly so no deterioration occurred.
New sport seat covers in leather are pricey. |

I have the black denim on mine because I hate the leather in the summer,Have had them for 15 years and they still look good,the best part is you can take them off and wash them .

My wife wound up gluing the stitching back together with some sort of glue. It seems to be holding up.
