Default Seatcovers?

I recently purchased two blue STI front seat covers from scoobyworld,they are terrible.really thin and baggy,I tried to tighten them with the straps available and they snapped.
I have seen some on EBay in black from a company called supercovers.
Has anyone got these or point me in the right direction of some nice fitting ones?

I asked about these a couple of weeks ago but go nowhere.
My mate got some off ebay for his Civic Type-R that were about £25 for the pair IIRC, i'll ask him next week for a link and update this thread. I think they are all made a standard size though so most will be baggy.

Coplan, they were the folk who made / make the Snapon subaru ones, although they dont sell the subaru themed ones anymore they made me two up in blue with the yellow swoosh, have to say the quality is superb and if I remember they were only around a tenner each.

bought a rear seat cover from ebay blue with yellow thinking it would be a nice match for the front, it was in the bin within 30 minutes off trying it on the seats !!

I bought one form tuff-covers on EvilBay for an STI seat.. It's just too small and pulls the bolster together. I moaned on a bit and to be fair the guy replied straight away and said it must be a supply issue as they normally fit. He gave me a full refund and said keep the cover. So you try this seller but make sure it's the right one, it seemed 100% waterproof and good quality, just a poor fit..

Yep I think with seat covers being a mostly universal fit they are never going to fit like a glove !!
the solution to them flapping in the wind with window down - close the window and turn the air con on instead !!

Hi mate, sorry for the late reply
My mate couldn't find the seller that he used on Ebay any more but he managed to find these which look quite good
