Post Okole seat covers need help

Where can I find okole seat cover online for good price? In performance product catalog they are listed for $250 front $250 back. Is it too much? Also if anybody has them installed, are they as good as advertised?
I have 2000 f150xlt.

I have them and they are great! They are more comfortable because they have padding in them. You also don't have to worry about getting them wet, which is nice. You can see pictures of them on my website. I just ordered them direct from the company and they were cheaper there than anywhere else.

I have them too. Black with a naivy blue center. I love them. You could go to www.wetokole.com and you coulf find them their. If you call them, they'll send you some sample materials so that you can see if the colors match.

The seat covers are a must for me cause I have a clumsy girlfriend, and she always spills stuff in my car. Did i also mention that i have vinyl flooring?

The prices at Okele don't seem any cheaper. $250 for a 60/40 split bench. I'd love to have some but the price is a bit much right now.

You're right, they aren't any cheaper, but they are well worth the price. Ever time i tell some one that i spent 250 for seat covers, they always respond with something like, "but why didn't you just go to Walmart, and get some covers for $30." That's until they see the okole covers for themselves. Then they understand. I've had two people so far order their seat covers from wetokole after they've seen mine.

My advice is for anyone thats thinking about the seat covers, to see them with your own eyes first, and then see if their worth the price.

Question

Do the seat covers add a neoprene / rubber smell to the interior?

Haven't added them to my '98 Expy yet, but just put some in my '88 4Runner as a test and they do add that rubber smell. Don't know for how long it will last but is definately noticeable after the 1st week. Not really a bad smell though.

I had a set of Wet Okole's in my Mustang Cobra and the smell of neoprene was so strong I had to take them out after a couple days....not sure how long it takes for the smell to go away?

personally, i love the smell of neoprene, it reminds me of diving. But yes, the smell does go away. I can't smell it anymore. I wish i could though. I've had them for over 6 months now.

Cool

Here's a thought. How about using some Febreze if you want the smell go go away faster. The okole covers are pretty cool. Thinking about getting some myself.
