Seat covers anyone?

Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who has put on seat covers that matched my beige interior of my PWP for the front seats since day one?

If you have one, what kind and where did you get them? I got mine at Walmart. $30 for both. Cloth and the colors matched exactly. Lots of pockets too. I was contemplating of getting the ones I had on my other vehicle in Canada (lambskin) that I had purchased at Costco. Those are darn soft, but too warm for the hot summers here.

The drivers' side cover was torn right where my back rests as the cloth ones were a tad too small and I guess my constant getting in and out of the car finally tore the seams apart. I was contemplating

1) sewing that back
2) get another one, exactly like it
3) get something altogether different, but don't like anything else that was sold at Walmart and as I said about the lambskin one, that's too thick for summer driving; perfect in Vancouver where the summer months are a cool 70s.

I'm sorry, but those covers are UGLYEEEEEEEEE. Where are the side airbags? I may have to cut a hole on my current one

It's in the seat behind the bolster next to the door. So for the drivers seat, the whole left bolster is the airbag. Opposite for the passenger.

Gah, I took a look at those covers and I have to agree with you on the ugliness. My god, $235 to make your interior look like ass?! Please.

I know Acura’s pleather may not be of any quality, but I love my pleather I could not imagine sitting on a seat cover. I have always been skeptical of the fit and finish and the look of seat covers.

I more or less agree here. Seat covers are so 80's (for those of us that were around to have them back then) and I don't think I could sit in one now. But I guess you could count me in with those that wouldn't mind seeing a cloth seat option (or leather delete) for the TSX. I really liked the cloth seats in my 05 WRX, and VW GTI cloth seats are pretty cool. Something like that might make a real alternative to the leather that Acura uses (which is nothing like the butter soft leather on my 01 Audi TT seats; best leather (and seats for that matter) that I've come across) (IMHO).

Just my 3 pesos, but shouldn't you be protecting your leather if you love it so much?

Crap... regarding the side airbags.. I've been covering them with my cloth seat covers since I bought them! Dang. What to do...

Shouldn't you be enjoying the leather seats...? Who are you saving them for, the next owner?

Yup, in essence, resale value.

What leather? The panel in the center? The rest is vinyl, why treat that so lovingly. Heck, if I had the cash and time to burn, I'd turn my TSX over to a conversion shop and have full leather on the front seats.

FWIW I have Bestop vinyl seat covers on my Jeep, to cover very worn and failing "denim vinyl" seat fabric, and they are not only better, but have lasted longer. So a good seat cover (not these ass-clown surfer jobbies) wouldn't be that bad, particularly in seasons when you're sitting in the seat a lot with wet outer clothes. Just my .
