My thought is that one should enjoy the new original seat covers until their old and stained, then cover them. Why cover something new?

It makes me feel comfortable knowing that there's some protection there against spills with my seat covers. Also, another reason I'm covering them now, while they're new, is to help preserve the resale value. I just purchased exact seat covers from Ebay.

1. If the cover is dirty, it can removed to clean it. It's harder to remove the seat.
2. When you sell the car, you can remove the covers to impress the customer with nice, clean seats.
3. You don't like the feel of the OEM seats and a cover is cheaper than replacing the entire seat.
4. You can get a cover that contrasts the interior cover for estehtics.
5. Like buying a cheap UV filter for a camera lens, the cover takes the hit first.

It's a custom graphic and I paid extra for it.

How much extra?
