Im looking for some front seat covers for my 2006 Accord LX sedan. Anyone know of a good website that will have QUALITY seat covers that fit like a glove? I dont want generic ones, I really want them to fit perfectly. Also looking for a site that I could return if needed.

People speak highly about Wet Okole brand.
Off topic, I'm being told Okole means a behind in Hawaiian slang.
A reference to surfer duds with wet swimming shorts?
However, I never used them myself.

There not going to cover seats with side air-bags in them, are they?
Wet Okale or Clazzio.
Katzkin requires removing the factory upholstery.

This is nice for a basic cover:

I still like sheepskins. Not many people use them anymore but you can't beat the comfort.
Just ordered a set of covers for the wife's Miata after doing a lot of research.
if you want leather, katzkins seems to be the most popular, though others like leatherseats.com appear good, too.
wet okole is also hugely popular. for every 100 comments I read on them, maybe 1 or 2 were negative. However, they are neoprene covered with a fabric. They are "real" neoprene, like wetsuit material. Many different fabrics to choose from, from basic cotton to denim to cordura nylon to faux leather. There's even a neosupreme, wich is a slimmer, pseudo neoprene. It's all in what you like the look and feel of.
The two big names I found in "mass produced" covers are Coverking and Caltrend. Even these covers are made to order. Both make custom tailored seat covers based on original seat patters, 3D imaging, etc. Haven't seen any in person yet, but the photographs all over the internet show a nice fitting product.
We chose the faux leather seat covers from Caltrend because 1-we wanted the leather 'look' 2-easy to clean 3-good comments from what I could find 4-caltrend has a 2 year warranty. Bought them for $212 delivered from autoanything. Will post up pics after they are installed if you can wait a few weeks.
in a nutshell, universal covers from wally or parts stores are usually under $50, custom made seats from a recognized company are $150-$250 depending on material, and full on leather start around $400 on the cheap end and go up from there.

Yeah I would really appreciate pics! I am considering coverking, they are more in my price range. I was looking at the Mesh or Neo Supreme options, hoping they fit like a glove!

When I had my Saturn ION, I ordered some seat skin replacements from a company based in Hawaii and sold by JCWhitney. Now I can't seem to find that same company. The replacement skinds held up well and were easy to clean.
Here they are. Caltrend faux leather in a 1999 Miata. Great fit, thick material, very comfortable. Install was a breeze after taking the seats out. Really couldn't do it right unless the seats were out of the car, have to be able to see underneath and thread straps through tiny gaps.
Also, in places where the covers look loose or baggy, they aren't. Just still holding shape from packaging. They will settle and look normal after being sat in for a bit. Very pleased with them!
