I've been looking into a seat cover for mine, i didn't know summit carried seat covers.
From what i can tell they look like quality covers. If you buy a set post your opinion, i'd like to see how they work out.

I just bought a set at Cabella's its and outdoor hunting store in West Virginia. Its their own brand name. They sell for $40 a piece, but they were on sale for $20 a piece. When my bill was rung up I ended up paying $31.

These covers are black and grey it has the clips that clip on at the bottom underside of the seat, then the sides of the cover close to seat belt and clip have cords you pull to tighten. Seem like a quality product. I'm gonna install these probably this weekend.

Svets96,
I bought those same covers and installed them this past weekend. Had to take the back seat out to put the bench seat cover on and that was a PITA, but i am happy with my purchase.

Total cost for 2 bucket covers and the bench cover was $70!!!

Well at first they were. I've got one of them on. The seats in my '08 aren't exactly a perfect fit. They have the thick foam on the sides and are more square...but you make it work.

Not yet hopefully this weekend b/c it will be warm out. The thing I don't like about these are the cords on them.

How is the install going for you so far.............??

Well I got them in and they look good, especially for $20 each. Now I can slide in and out of the truck easier. Just do not open the long velcro strips on the sides if you dont have to!
It's gonna take me a few days to get them cinched down correctly. The foam on my seats is a bit too poofy and they are still kinda tight and crooked. Went for a quick drive and had to move the seat back one click because I was sitting a bit forward.

Yep I finally got them installed.

They seem to slip right on. Although those cords are a real PITA. I had to tie and place the string and clips up inside the backside of the seat. So you wouldnt see anything hang.

So far I am really happy with them, sure as hell beats those towels any day of the week. Can't wait to try them out tommorow.
