Save your money, buy an actual seat if you wanna get something new. Cheap seatcovers, look like and un-made bed. All wrinkled and whatnot, oh and leather, Ha, they meant to say pleather.

Good God Man! Instead of the massive links, try this instead...

clicky 1

clicky 2

That way the page layout doesn't get all stupid.
If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

he says 2001+, so if they fit a 2000 they are gonna fit 00-00. I doubt they will fit both 1st and 2nd gen seats.

I actually emailed the guy about these, he said they are guaranteed fitment on a 2000 (was tested). so i guess 2000-2005 should work

if i don't get new seats, i will get these..

Professionell way is: Give your seats to a seddler and he makes them brandnew in your style! But i think it will cost ~400...

if you want some seat covers i'll sell you mine. They fit but are saggy just like everyone says.
They are all black.

i picked up a set like these on ebay a while back ago, but mine were the flat black ones off an 03+ sxt or something.

they do require some work to get the to get them on because you have to take the seats apart and run the little metal rods through the seat cushion to get the nice creases in them.

They look terribly cheap and cheesy.... try cleaning the ones you have or have it reupholstered or find some nicer stock seats...

I was actually looking at these....and I do also still have my 2000 seats...hmm I wish I could see how they look.

Hey as far as comfort I think my 2000 seat sux and I havent driven my 03 around to be able to get a good feel of the seats, but leather would add a nice touch to them.

What are some nice comfy bucket type seats that are a direct bolt in for the neon? I would get the bucket racing seats on eBay if they wernt so damn ugly

i got the seat covers from ebay and they actually dont look to bad... the headrest are horrable so i got a set of leather srt head rests and just used those.. but I redid my interior so they are just sitting in the closet...

but you can get them to fit pretty nicely if you play with them... even put one of those seat cushion under the cover and it will be tighter..

i would definitely choose the seat covers with head rests over the stock seats

it gives you a leather look that you dont have to worry about and they dont fall apart or fade.

but it all depends who you are... If your the type of person who wont even eat in their car cause of getting in dirty then i'd say go with the $600 katskins but if you just want something to look good while while you live your life then you'll b e happy with the seat covers


here was inspired me to buy them and if you need headrest let me know
