Igee Seat Covers Installed

I got tired of looking at my torn front drivers seat bottom so I decided to give these seat covers a try. They are called Igee and are available in a wide variety of color combos. I ordered two tone beige and black. My passenger seat and back seat are still in good shape but I went ahead and got the whole set so it would match. I got them on EBay for $350...

Installation required me to remove the seats from the vehicle and was pretty straight forward. The fitment is pretty good. Materials feel solid and good stitching. Overall I'd say good quality for the price. I am pleased with the outcome...

was the cover perforated or pre-notched on the front seats for the side-airbags? They may interfere if not.

Yes, they have a Velcro seam on the outside of each front seat...

Wow! Indeed, those look fantastic for only $350!! Sub'd to see how they hold up. On the downside, the beige doesn't totally match the parchment and the map pockets don't look that great, IMO.

About how long did it take to do the whole job?

LOL at their poor grammar....

I agree, the map pockets make it look really aftermarket.

I would just remove the OEM backing piece off the seat and try making it work with the new cover.

I don't like the map pockets either. I'm gonna have to tell my kids to not use them because I fear they may sag over time.


The back seat install took about an hour and the front seats about 30-45 min each. I highly recommend removing the seats from the vehicle for anyone looking to install these. And before anyone asks...yes, I disconnected the battery...


I did a google search on these seats and read a lot of positive reviews about them from the Jeep and Camaro guys. That's what convinced me to get them. I couldn't find anything about them on this forum, so I figured I'd post them up to let people know about another alternative...


I almost pulled the trigger on a full leather reproduction set for $800, but couldn't justify it to myself...

Not bad as far as seat covers go. The tan not matching would bother me but the black helps distract from that I think. Curious how it would look without the headrest covers.

VERY NICE! I replaced the seat bottoms (the tush portion) with OEM style leather for $205 each plus shipping from autocustomleathers.com. They have the best prices on the internet. The stealership price is almost 3X that! These replacements are an exact factory match. I figured if I have to go through the motions of taking the seat out, I might as well do it the original looking way

Is it perforated leather though? It seems to be solid leather. Or looks like it anyway.

the color match is perfect though. And the fitment looks spot on, though it looks like some adjustment is still necessary on your passenger seat.

i will keep that site in mind. My drivers seat is starting to wear out and I have zero desire to pay OEM prices for new leather. Most aftermarket place look aftermarket... no thanks. This looks good though.

It is perforated, just like the original, and a perfect original color match to boot !!!

^ I've seen the ones from endless, looks like that is pretty much the most economical option unless I'm lucky enough to score a set of used front seats in good-great condition at a reasonable price. I was hoping that for for $205 each this could be a less expensive solution than going with the covers from endlessrpm.
