Seat Covers to suite Focus

GSR · 20-12-2007, 05:25 PM

I know this sounds quite boring, but are there any good seat covers to suite a Focus LT standard cloth seats. Do they work with the split fold seats or are they just a one piece for the back.
I know theres probably a lot of different versions but Im looking at ones that fit well, look good, wont make you feel like youre sitting on a raised bench and work with the split rear seats.
Am I asking for too much??

Just be aware of side airbags if you have them.

Providing thats ok - go with something classy .... like fake leopard skin or perhaps naked women prints.

Thanks.....That answers it for me....Airbags i didnt think of that..this ones got the safety pack with side air-bags so no seat covers I suppose....
I did like your idea of naked women prints though, but I dont think the mrs would approve.

You can buy special seat covers that are ok to use with side airbags as well

Very interesting find. I would pay $400 to have reasonable quality leather seats but I'd want to be sure I was going to get reasonable quality before I paid.

Do you know much about these guys? or know anyone who's bought these locally on a focus? The ad covers Mitsubishi only but I presume they would do all makes.

And again - are they air bag compatible or is that a model dependant issue?

I googled "Ultimate Auto Trim" in Australia with no results, beyond the ebay ads and some mentions on other car sites. one of the other car sites mentioned they attach via elastic ties underneath and hence are prone to moving under use. This is why I'd like to chat with an owner first, not just a anonymous distributer. So does the originating company have a website ?

I'm not hassling you about the link or holding you responsible - its good info - thank you. I'd just like to know more if you do.

Cheers in advance.

I know nothing about them, but he has a few ads on ebay, and covers lots of makes. One ad refers to him having a factory in Dandening South (Melbourne). Note: they are not genuine leather! Leather "look" or something. But at the price he's asking, they are either bloody good quality, or he is a rip off artist with BIG balls!!

If not leather it will be vinyl for sure. Problem with vinyl is it heats up a lot and it is hot to touch in the summer. Very cold in the winter too. I deal with leather and vinyl on a daily basis. I would prefer leather over vinyl anyday

I agree Adam. I looked at them because I thought they were leather but you have to read the fine print!

It would be an interesting proposition in leather

If you wanted leather you should just get your car retrimmed in leather. Cost about the same and it wont be a cover. Should cost about $2000 to get it done in leather with some embroadary.

Just one of the many things on the wish list Adam!!!!LOL
