yep, for 10+ years now. first got'em on my p/u nissan used for the beach. and they're still going. mass produced for popular makes and models they're relatively cheap. in '94 ~$100 for the fronts.

just a year ago, i purchased custom-made for my mini, and they cost $270 for the fronts with piping. but they are extremely sharp-looking. check out our hawaii threads on wet okoles.

all in all, pricey for the minis, since we need to get'em custom, but you do get a high quality product. but do not forget to spray 'em with a uv protectant before use, eg. 303. cause they're made of neoprene and will fade quickly otherwise with sun exposure.

Sounds like what I needed Saturday when the rain was pouring into the open sun roof.

LOL


Sounds like these might be the one for me. Website has them at $225 for the front seats. And they are designed for the airbags.

I have had them in several of my cars. Some of the bright colors fade after a while but they are by far the best seat covers available anywhere.

BTW, I met the owner at a car show a few months ago. He is a pretty nice guy and owns a very nice Mini MOKE.
