I bought some seat covers and they looked like they would fit but for 50 bucks it was the worst investment I think I made. Ever. They looked like sh*t. Puckered, stretched out of shape, they didn't follow the contours of the seat at all. ANd the stupid seatbelt thing on the headrest made things worse. I'm looking for a GOOD set of seat covers that fit right and don't look cheesy but don't cost a fortune. I'd like to get a set for both front and rear, but I'm not sure where to look. I looked at some different places where you can get custom seat covers made for your car, but the cost is almost as much as reupholstering them. I want something simple, just black or dark grey. Anyone have any recommendations?

Ive heard KatSkinz (I believe thats the spelling) has some sick designs. I believe they are reasonably priced. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Yeah, that is very true. But doesn't Katskinz only do leather? I'm fine with it if it's reasonably priced, but leather is expensive and I'm not sure that's what I want. I'll check them out anyway. Maybe they have something I'll like.

JC Whitney has a rather large selection of custom fit seat covers and seat covers that look like they would fit pretty well.

Also, if you're interested, I have a pair of black on black Neotex seat covers for the front seats. They have a separate piece that covers the head rests and they fit very snuggly. I am asking $30 U.S. for them including shipping. Let me know if you're interested.

what about the seat belt guide. it needs to go how do i get rid of it. the head rest dont even come off os that i can take it off.

How to remove the headrests/seat belt guides

Supplies:
- eye glass flat head screwdriver
- towel, rag, etc.
- some sort of soap i.e. dish soap

Instructions:
01. Sit in the rear seat facing the front seat you will be removing the head rest from
02. Lean the front seat back so you are looking down at the head rest
03. Pull the head rest up as far as it will go
04. Take a small flat head screwdriver and slide in into one of the holes surrounding the head rest poles
05. Move it around until you feel some resistance (if you're lucky, you might be able to move the fabric a little and actually see the clip you need to remove)
06. Wiggle the screw driver around until the clip pops out (it may take a while, but eventually it will pop out)
07. Repeat steps 4-6 for the second head rest pole
08. Once you get the head rest off, turn it upside down and you will see two very thin metal discs holding the seat belt guide onto the head rest, you need to remove these
09. Take a screwdriver and pry up on the discs
10. Once you get the discs up a little bit, put some soap on the head rest poles
11. Take a towel and start twisting the discs, continue doing this until they slide off

*NOTE: After I did this mod my head rests did not stay up because I did not re-install the clips. If you want to be able to have your head rests stay in the upright position, make sure to re-install the clips.*

If anyone has any more questions regarding removing the head rests/seat belt guides, please feel free to email me any time: j_to_envy@yahoo.com.

removing is a PITA but its worth it

or if your putting a seat cover over it just cut the loop off the guide. It works. And if you go back to no covers its not that bad if you use somehthin like a dremel to round it off

Just sew the seat cover on... i wouldn't expect a seatcover to take the shape. looks like racing seats if you do a good job.

hmm, sewing covers on simple yet brilliant would be a great winter mod while the cav is parked.

That's actually a really good idea. Maybe it's a good thing that my mom insisted I learn how to sew. I'm gonna have to give that a shot.
