Anybody have a set of Wet Okole seat covers (http://www.wetokole.com/) for their new body style Silverado/Sierra? I am cinsidering getting a set. What do you guys think of them? Quality? Fit? I saw a picture on a website of a guys truck w/ them but, there was no place for the armrest to come down. Can anyone tell me differently? I am thinking that he had bench seats though. Anyways I want to get some feedback before I spend that kind of money on seat covers. Also did anyone get an embroidered logo on them? They look pretty :cool: with those logos. I was thinking of getting black on the sides w/ grey down the middle and either a Z71Offroad(GMZ037) logo or a Silverado logo(GMS023) What do you guys think?

They look kinda cool. i wonder how they are secured to the seats? do you remove the factory covers and use hog rings? or just slip them over and tie them....
look sweet though

I think that its low6lug that may have them, it's someone on this site I can't remember which, Im thinking about them for mine to.

I would really like a set of avalanche z71 seats but can't afford them.

And I love them. They fit perfect and they are absolutely waterproof. The only thing I do not like is that I have the 40/20/40 seat and the covers just have a stiched hole cut out for the plastic recessed thingie on the center fold down / armrest. I just need to figure out a way to take out that plastic piece and tuck the cover in then reinstall the piece. Wreckmaster: they do slip over the seats then have straps with adjustable buckles that you sinch down tight for each piece. (mine were 8 pieces in all) So once they are on they are there and do not move around on the seat. However you will cuss a little while you are putting them on but they are worth it. Just go have a beer afterwards, or before, or during... And Y2Kboti.. dont get the special emblems unless they tell you that it is embroidery cause I got the bowties on mine and they are just velvet iron-ons, definately not worth the 30 extra bucks. Hope this helps ya out and here is a pic:

BigKID thats what I wanted to hear. So they are decent quality but the emblems are a joke huh? Tell me more about the armrests. Do the bench seats have individual armrests? I have the bucket seats in my Z71. All I want to know is if you can still put the armrest down once the covers are on??? Help

BigKID do you have anymore pics of the covers? How much did you pay for them?

I don't know for sure about the armrests on the buckets but I am sure they will still be functional. When you call they will ask you about 100 questions about your truck and seats. Some of them I didn't see the relivance but I guess they have to ask anyway. That is the only pic I have right now but if you need some more detailed ones I can get them for ya, it will just take a few days. As for the price... my bottom line was $335 but the seats were only $259, emblems were $39, $17 for cleaner and $20 S/H. I ordered mine straight from Wet Okole. I think you will like them if you decide to get them especially if you do a lot of watersports like me.

I have a pair of Wavrunners that I take to the river a few times a year and I go snowboarding when I can so I think they would be functional just alot of $$$ for seat covers. Know what I mean:eek: I wonder if I can get them for less anywhere else. I'll have to shop around a little. Thanks for all the info you been a great help. As for the armrests I'll call them Wet Okole directly and ask them. Again thanks:)

I was also looking into getting a set for the front and back seat. I guess they would be functional for me because I have two kids that spill stuff all the time so I guess that would classify as a wet sport.

any problems with fading? I've heard some people say that the covers fade almost right away

I have had mine for about 8 months now and I have not had any problems with fading. The black is a little discolored on the front left corner of the drivers seat where I slide in/out but that could be dirt too since I have not cleaned them in a while.
