My vert came with the stock cloth interior that I found got a bit sun bleached and dusty - so I changes to an all leather camaro interor. Looks nice and is easy to clean but can we say hot and sticky!!

So I'm now looking for some aftermarket seats - I'm not particulary looking for racing seats but more of a comfy touring seat that won't burn me whan I wear shorts.

I'm a big boy 6'1 and 250# so it needs to be a real seat with padding and hip room if you know what I mean:)

So what are you all using and anyone have any good suggestions for me?

I made some seat covers out of some plush bath towels and they work great for both warm & cold weather. They protect the seat from wear, too. We take them off for car shows, but leave them on whenever we're driving the car.

I just purchased black hand towels and put them on the seats when needed.

You buy the towels & thread, and send them to me with enough to cover shipping back to you, and I'll just sew them for ya.
They certainly aren't fancy, but they work.
We bought the Fieldcrest/Cannon Royal Velvet (something or other). Cy bought the next level up as far as plushness goes (Charisma? I may have them backwards) (terry cloth loop on one side, trimmed loop/plush on the other).
Just get the same kind of bath towel that you Zaino with and they'll be fine. Need 4 of them in whatever color you choose (and thread).

Here they are on the Fieldcrest Cannon website.

I seen the covers you have and really like the way they came out. My wife can't sew. Thanks! [Smile]

You can send them to the shop address and I'll do them when I can (free is the price in exchange for the wait).
