Seatcover opinions

I bought my 06 MCS with the space grey cloth seats because I didn't really love any of the leather/leatherette options offered. I'm debating whether to have leather put in locally or just buy some nice seat covers from Wet Okole.
El Kabong is a PW/B with black bonnet stripes and checkerboard mirror covers. I'm trying to stick with a black and white theme for now. I've ordered the coco mats in black with white dots. I'm wondering what everyone would think of black or charcoal seat covers with white piping from Wet Okole. If I do a leather I'd just do black or charcoal (whatever goes best with the Anthracite interior).
Thanks for the opinions,
Annette
Here's the Wet Okole seatcovers but in a different color.

I've got a set, and I love em. Only ordered the fronts though, and now the misses is pushing for me to get a matching set for the back seats.

What is so nice about these seats? I really miss the leather as they were a lot easier to get in and out of, plus a lot cooler here in Sunny Florida.

I'm not sure if the WOs are okay for this, but as I recall you are not supposed to cover the seats with the advanced airbags/seat sensors or something like that (the advanced airbags were added in Jan 05 production). I am not sure about it but is might be something you want to check into before buying anything.

Kaztkin are replacement hides and are designed to function as the original seat hide does.

Wet Okoles are also air bag friendly...

No problems there. They have the hole in the side for the seat air bag to deploy. Love them.

IMO: Red/black seats in a PW/B are gorgeous.
