Subject:      Seat covers and cup holders
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

I wanted to outfit my "new" Syncro Westy, and went to Pep Boys (I know, ugh...) for their selection of seat covers and cup holders.  I found what I believe is a pretty good little unit that has two adjustable cup holders, plus lots of cubby-holes for all those bits and bobs you tend to accumulate on road trips.  It is called a "Spill Master Classic XT" and was about $8.  The gray color pretty much matches the interior, and it is small enough to step over in order to get into the back.  If you're interested, their number is 800-279-5272.  I am really happy with it so far.

Ah, but seat covers are a different story...  After carefully choosing the least nauseating pattern I could find in a color that more or less matched the gray interior, I pulled off the arm rests of the driver's seat and installed the seat cover.  Ugh.  Bad fit.  Too baggy, even though it was designed for a "low back" seat.  They are decent quality (about $50 the pair), but I will be returning them tomorrow due to the fit.  

Any one have success with a seat cover that fits and matches the interior?
