Tacky or not: Seat covers

[Suitcase Jefferson]

I'm not a fan of my burgundy interior on my 1989 Mark III... so I bought some decent-ish seat covers and installed them, but I'm not sure if it matches quite right or looks good.

I like them... but what are your opinions?

Here's what the original seat looked like:

Thanks for your time!

seat covers are lame, but they serve a purpose to save the looks of the seat. Those don't look bad

That's good to hear. Thanks for the reply.

Look like crap to me sorry.

You have good seats idk why not just rockem.

IMHO burgundy interior was the worst thing to happen to the mk3's! It looks old and brown like something my uncle would sport (he's 60)
The covers don't look good but they look better than stock IMO.

Saving the looks of the seats is like saving the synchros in a manual, what's the point? I'd rather enjoy them then save it for the next owner.

Maybe I wouldn't have a problem with your seat covers if they were all black lol.

I'm not a fan of the seat covers but it's your car, do what you want with it. If you like them then our opinions shouldn't matter.

There is an mk3 on ebay for sale (beater) for a 100bux. Buy that, and swap the gray interior...then sell the shell again IMO. Goodluck either way. OH...I hate seat covers...but do whatcha gotta do to make you feel good..

I think leatherseats.com or something like that used to sell really nice seat covers for pretty cheap that looked almost like factory. I lost the link for good covers a while ago.

I used to have a burgundy NA so I feel your pain with the interior color . I'm not a fan of seat covers, I think they look half baked so to speak. hvyman, I used leatherseats.com to re upholster my blue seats, changing them from cloth to leather (Im not a huge fan of the blue interior either but it's what I had to work with). They came out great. I can't remember how much it cost.

Sorry, my opinion is that i don't like it. As much as i hate the burgundy interior i would not use that seat cover.

I don't like seat covers, my leather seats look almost like they had a close encounter with a lawn mower, but they're still functional and still keep the foam in. :icon_razz

Well fitting seat covers are halfway decent, if they don't fit well, then your ass is just going to slide around when you drive the car hard...

Sheepskin in a black/gray looks nice if you have a dark interior, gimme a second...

See, nice and simple, compliments the interior nicely.

Not a fan of seat covers (the looks or function). They just collect dirt under them and make the seats wear out faster. Cleaning the seats regularly works better to preserve them.

The seat covers dont look that great. Just rock the seats and do an interior swap later.
