Seat car covers - I was tired of spending money



I was tired of spending money on things like seat car covers that didn't look good or last very long.  I don't mind spending money on something that will last and look good though.  I thought that maybe the car dealership may have some seat covers that would fit my truck correctly.  I called the local dealership and was surprised that they only sold replacement seat covers. This is where you remove your original cover down to the bare seat and replace it with a exact duplicate.  Well I guess this would work, but the work involved would really be to much just to protect my seats with the same thing.  And guess how much they cost.  Just for the front bucket seats the price was over $2500.00 !!!!  WOW thats a lot of money for some material.  I don't know about you but this is ridiculous.  So I was lost at what to do.  I couldn't go to a store and buy any covers that fit correctly and I couldn't afford the OEM replacement covers. Anyway my covers didn't need replacing they needed protecting.  So in the mean time I just left the store bought covers on the seats while I looked for a better solution.  Sometimes it pays to be patient :)

Got the Mustang back and WOW !!



Rick at Front Line Designs in Darlington SC did a great job on the Mustang.  When we looked at this car on the lot we thought wow that is a sharp lookin car.  Of course time we got it home we started thinking it sure would look better with tinted windows.  Then we thought wow it sure would look good with some racing stripes.  This grew into getting the Mustang down the side.  Now I sure would like to find some white letter tires pretty cheap :)

Im going to go ahead and put some sheepskin covers on the seats.  This will really give the interior some WOW :)
Anyway a big thanks to Rick - who did all the work tinting and striping.  Rick is a real professional who pays close attention to detail.

Look him up at Front Line Designs in Darlington SC

also look me up at www.seatsheepskincovers.com if you have any questions or sheepskin needs.  If you want your car to look WOW then go see Rick at Front Line Designs and contact me for your interior.

Seat Car Covers - Pictures where the covers fit incorrectly



Ok here are the seat covers that I purchased for my truck.  My truck has the seat belts built into the seat.  I didn't know at the time that this causes a automatic need for Tailor Made Seat Covers.  Also I have arm rest that are integrated into the seats.  As you can see - even though the seat covers have a place for the seat belt to go through. The seat belts have torn the seat covers up in a very short amount of time.  Also check out the arm rest on the passenger seat. These seat covers have a zipper on the arm rest side that you can zip up if you don't want to use your arm rest.  I love my arm rest so I have to keep them zipped down.  This really looks terrible.  I was so miserable with the way these covers looked, but I didn't know what to do.

Waiting for the Mustang to be completed



Well we are anxiously waiting for the transformation of the Mustang.  We took it to Rick at Front Line Design last night. We spent about a hour picking out the striping color and style.  We went with a bold strip down the side of the car with Mustang written in the middle.  We also opted on the double racing strip placed close together with a outline pin strip.  The color ended up being a metal flake silver.  We also got the windows tented.  The Stang should really look like a new car when we get it back.  I will post pictures tonight when we get it back :)  Im still working on all the seat sheepskin covers business.  If you are interested at all in getting the benefits of sheepskin for your seat car covers just let me know.  I will take care of you and any of your car cover needs.

seat sheepskin covers - Got side stepped today



Well I know I said that next I would put up some pictures of some seat covers that do not fit correctly, but today I got sidetracked.  I bought a 2008 Mustang and had to get it ready to do some striping.  I buffed it out today to get it nice and clean. Tonight I took it to a friend of mine Rick Gaskins owner of Front Line Designs in Hartsville SC.  He is going to tent the windows and put the racing stripes on it. :)  I just got back and decided to throw this in here tonight.  Ill pick back up on the seat covers tomorrow.  Maybe Ill even get some sheepskin car seat covers for the car :)

Seat Car Covers - How to find the right car seat covers




The first mistake I made trying to find Seat Car Covers was going to a store. I went all around, looking at the local discount retailers as well as hardware stores. I finally went to Autozone and found some covers that stated that they fit my Full Size GMC Truck.

  • I thought WOW these are great and under $100 dollars !!
  • Happily I paid for these great seat car covers.
  • I got home with A smile on my face :)
  • Immediately I started putting my seat car covers on my seats.
Now here is where I started running into problems :(  Finding seat car covers for your car can be difficult if you are not careful.

  1. Remember just about all vehicles have different kinds of seats.
  2. If you try a one size fits all solution - unless you are very very lucky they will not fit properly.
  3. Lets be realistic about the material these store bought seats are made from. They will protect for a while but will tear and wear much quicker than a quality cover.
  4. Even if you go with the cheap store bought covers you will pay more because they will have to be replaced on a regular bases.
Next I will show you picture proof of why the one size fits all solution can be a big mistake.

seat Car Covers - Don't make the same mistake I did.




So it was time for me to get some protection for my seat car covers. I looked around and around finally finding some nice ready made covers at the local auto parts store.
  • They were made just for my Truck.
  • I purchased these car seat covers made to fit my Truck.
  • To my surprise they didn't even come close to fitting properly.
  • This is what put me on the journey to finding : Great Quality and good fitting Seat Car Covers.
In the next few post I will take you along my journey that's gotten me to where I am today. Come with me as I go from looking for seat covers to being a business owner for a product that found me instead of me finding it.

In the meantime feel free to look me up at seat sheepskin covers.
