Default Seat Covers - Wet Okole vs Leather/Alcantara/Suede

My Integra has the taupe/brown interior and cloth seats. I'm going to dye it black someday, or at least the big parts of it, and want ITR Recaro's. However, I am too poor to buy Recaro's so I'm considering seat covers for my current seats.

Wet Okole seat covers are a big thing with the crowd over on VWVortex. They are neoprene and are supposed to be of the highest fit and quality.



I was wondering if there are any companies that make aftermarket seat covers that are leather but also have a suede insert like the Recaro's? I like leather, but I need grip so I don't go sliding around all the time.

So does anyone have seat covers on their car here? I'm thinking of getting Wet Okole two-tone with Acura logo imprinted on them unless someone speaks up about leather/alcantara/suede options.

I have a full black interior in my basement if I wanted to install in my car. Mint condition. Granted, I'd like to sell it, but the point is...

I am going to dye my tan interior black. I want to know if anyone on here has these. They are supposedly high quality, grippy, nifty, come in lots of custom designs, and look like new forever.

I don't have them, but I was considering them a while back. I got a packet in the mail with samples of the material, and it's nice. Totally water-resistant, etc and looks really nice. I say go for em if you have the dough to shell out, they are kinda pricey.
