NCSUs Custom Wet Okole Seat Covers

Checked off another item on the to-do list for the truck.

I ordered the half-piping from Wet Okole with the #21 Light Gray. I also got rear zippered pockets both the fronts seats, as well as the gun tote on the drivers seat.

Here's how the front seat looked when I unpacked it:


The seats have extra cushioning in them, which makes them quite comfortable.


Here's what my interior looked like when I first got the truck:


and after the LED swap:


Now here it is after! (please excuse the dog hair everywhere on the floor)






Then I went a step further and had some custom embroidery done. They gave me a free golf towel as a test piece.


Got them put on both front seats (still need to adjust the covers a little so the emblem isn't crooked):


Here's a shot of some stuff I put in the gun tote so you can see how that works. There are two pockets:


I also picked up their care kit, so I can keep the seats clean and fresh for a long time to come:


Overall I'm very pleased with these seats. They fit great and are very comfortable. I'll be interested to see how the feel after taking a long trip. Installation is straightforward, although getting the front seat bottoms on was a big PITA, as was the rear to a lessor extent. It would have been easier had I removed the subwoofer before trying to install the rear seat bottoms.

You can get a front set for around $275.

Normally I'm not to keen on these seat covers, but yours look good.


Now you need to buy a vacuum.

I know, right!

I'm going to do an interior and exterior cleaning this weekend. Maybe even a waxing, but far from a full detail, just don't have the time for that right now.

Edited to add:

For those who don't know, the emblems match my overlays and fender badges:

Looks great!! Love the Wet Okole's...had a couple of sets in previous vehicles and they are a high quality product and wear really well. I will DEFINITELY get a set once these OEM pleather covers start to look crappy!!

Oh, and that dog hair is gross!

Negative, it's a JL Stealthbox.

I might dye the box black to make it match better.

Looks good, but I think I would die if I got my truck that dirty, getting dirt on my Weather Tech mats annoys me. Even though thats the reason I bought them in the first place.

I say that, yet the bed of my truck has about 1" of mud sitting in it.

Just ordered the set from autoanything.com
Came out to 242.96 for the front row. Got the black with lite grey.
Had an online coupon for 10% and free shipping from their site.

Sweet!

Only thing about ordering them from a place like AutoAnything is you don't get the options for half-piping, full-piping, the seat back pocket, gun tote or seat graphics.

However, if you don't want any of those, that's a great deal!
