I have been getting a lot of interest in the various forums about my newly installed seat covers. So I figured I'd make a thread about it on here in case more folks are interested. The company is based in china but they have a local (to me) shop here in the greater LA area. They do a 3D scan of your interior for a fee if they don't have your interior in their database. I have an LX so I told them to use the LC measurements they just uploaded to their database.

The cost for two front seats, armrests, headrests, and center console was $310 and I paid them an additional $50 for the install which is optional. The lead time was about 3 weeks and the install took about an hour. The overall fit and finish is fantastic as it feels like I have a brand new front row. I can't speak to their longevity as I am probably the second 100 series out there with these on. Since I am local I ordered directly from them at their shop and compared all their swatches of color to get the closest one to my stone gray interior. You can do all kinds of customization like diamond stitching, different color inlays, etc.. for the same price. I opted to make it look as OEM as I could minus the perforated option. The only issue I ran into was the center console apparently the measurement they had for the LC made the console cover much larger than mine, luckily they had the taylor there so they made a quick alteration to make it fit.

**There may be more differences between the LC and LX but I went for it with the mindset that if there are differences between the two it can't be that noticeable.

I learned about these from reading this article that a fellow SoCal 100 posted on the IG page


The website to the covers is this. Just go to the customize now option.

These look fantastic. I am in Whittier, so close by. Is this leather or leatherette/vinyl?
 
could be a little "sticky", especially during the curent socal heat/humidity.🥵
Wet Okole covers are made of material that is similar to a wetsuit but more clothlike. They don't stick and don't hold heat like leather seats, easy clean-up. I got tan and black - perfect fit over front seats, headrests and adjustable arm rests. If I had to do again I would have gotten all black. I live in deep south - very hot and these covers are great - worth the $. I even got a lumbar support (hand pump) on drivers side and pistol holder sewn in as part of ds seat cover and sits below knees / between legs for easy access if ever needed. Black would be great in Dana Point especially if you enjoy beach life - my son and family live out there by you - love Laguna Niguel / Dana Point! Last bastion of sanity left in SoCal in your area - Dana Point...(not so much in San Diego anymore...)
 
I had Wet Okole covers in my Tundra. Great for beach/water activities and quite comfortable, but they absolutely hold heat. I loved them, except they were hot. I won't buy them again, unless I was at the beach daily.
 
Sure the Wet Okole holds some heat, any type covering does - but my experience between hot leather / vinyl vs hot neoprene/cloth - I'll take the Wet Okole with shorts on vs leather/vinyl covered seats any hot summer day... this coming from 100 degree summer weather with humidity. To each is own... I have really liked the Okole covers - had same set for about 10+ years.

So you have had the Wet Okole seat covers in your truck? Or are you talking about your wet suit?
no, but i have read enough to know, which matches what I know from first hand experience working/designing with neoprene. believe me as a design engineer in the medical bracing field, we scoured the market for orthopedic bracing purposes, & i mean scoured.

U being in mississipi (land of heat/humidity)....if you want to roll the dice, be my guest.
