    I'm on my second set in 12 years..I love them.
    They are a bit fiddly to fit snuggly..but with time and patience , they do
    Wet suit material...your bum slides over them nicely for ease of entry!
    Machine washable too.

    I'm sure Dave will confirm...but 99% certain thats what they are .

    Yep, Jo is 100% correct. And I sent them a monochrome file of the vehicross logo, so they could add it to the front seats. It's not embroidered, but it's nice (and fuzzy to the touch). I never saw a set with the actual Vehicross logo--and since our seats have that logo stock--I thought this would be a good "near stock" look to go with it. I also wanted the rears to have the logo too--but that they weren't able to do that for me.

    I'm also hoping that I can get them to make me a purple armrest to match the seats. That will be TITS.

    P.S.

    Jo, what happened to your FIRST WO set?

    The drivers seat simply wore out eventually, cargo pants with multi zips did the damage I think...
    ..and I spilt oil on the pass one .. DOOHH

    How much extra did they charge for the Logo..its a great look.

    Standard pricing for logos. I think if I'd asked for red over the "ehi" they might have charged more or something--but the "logo" price for a set of covers is what they charged me.

    Plus, you CAN have them repair covers. They charge like $15 to replace a panel--so that will be my 1st choice if these ever start to wear badly.

    FYI, here's the file I sent them. It's one of the first google images that pops up when you look for a "vehicross logo".

    Told Wet Okole that I wanted it in all black, including the surround for the "ehi". What you see is the result. And as noted above, it was only the standard logo'd price. I can't recommend it enough. It looks so freaking fantastic. I love the OEM look.

    With these you lose the adjustment in the front seats at the legs, correct?

    Hey wow, nice fit. I have considered the Okoles in just standard black and gray for my VX (especially cause of my dogs). The fit looks great! Just might have to save a few pennies for them....

    Unfortunately, yes. I specifically asked about this, and they do not offer any option which will work with the bolster extension. Which...unfortunately...means that I'm also losing one of my makeshift cup-holders. I have no idea if/how any covers could be made to work with that seat function. You might be able to just have covers made to fit the extension when pulled out, but that would also mean the covers would be loose when the extension was pushed back in. The rest of the seat functions work normally (tilt, slide, headrest tilt, etc).

    Now all I need to do is figure out a nice OEM looking way to fit more than 1 cup. I have a Ford Tempo single-din tray I want to install, when I get some time.

    *Update*

    Since Mile-High was asking, I fiddled with my seats today. If I loosen the front-rear seat strap, I can slide the bolster adjustment out about 4-5 clicks. It won't go to the full range of travel, but it will at least pull out a bit. I wasn't going to try and remove them and try to refit with the bolster at 100% out position--but if one were so inclined, they might get very close to making that work. Keep in mind though, that whenever you closed the bolster adjustment, you'd have a loose cover seat.

    No, KAT isn't drooling because she ordered her custom/photo fitted Wet Okoles about 3 weeks ago!
