Post Wet Okoles are in and on.

Looks are good as is the fit. I would like the bolsters to have more definition through the covers. The fabric goes straight across the seats. Feels cheap compared to the suede seats. Holds you in the turns pretty good though. Not as hard as I expected to install took about 45 to an hour one person. Seat backs are probably the hardest parts to get straight etc. Console cover fonflicts with the latch a little. Not exactly what I would deem worth 312 bucks. I would buy a chip instead. I am still getting used to that 900 dollar RETRAX bed cover...

Mine are on the way, hopefully within 2 weeks.

As for being worth $300 or $300 well spent. I agree with you. But after that first spill of a McDonalds drink (or the like) I guarantee we will both be singing a different tune.

You actually eat and drink in your truck?

I wonder how hard it would be for them to make a set of covers for the passenger bucket seat conversion?

Probably not hard at all just reverse the driver side pattern? I only drink water in my truck from a spouted bottle. Rarely have passengers except for the scantily clad super models that want to give my L some lovin' and extra attention the driver of the fastest production truck needs.

L8 APE,

We're twins! I have a silver 01 with Wet Okoles and a Retrax too, with the only other mods being factory bedliner and alarm.

p.s. - Sorry about the shortening of your name, just couldn't resist. Brings back memories of Grape Ape.

L8 APEX....I'm not sure if you knew this or not so I just thought I'd tell you that our seats are not actually suede. Had me fooled. Even the dealer told me they were. Didn't know until I discovered this site.
