Wet Okole Seat covers. Red and Black

TheForce · 03-07-2007, 09:32 PM

I decided to get a set of Wet Okole seat covers with my tax return. $3150 going to car payment the rest for car toys

I'm going with Red and black seat covers. Red for the inside panels and black for outside panels.

The one thing I cant decide on is what logo I should get. The logo will be black. I made this post to get your opinion. That and so I could make a post with a poll.

Should I go with the old school Prius logo or go with the new school Prius logo?

I think it would be nice to have a little old school with the new Prius but I also think that the new logo will keep the the car looking consistent with everything matching.

What do you think?

Of course when I get them I will post pictures in this thread.

Kinda off-thread, but I was wondering, are the wet okole seats liquid/water resistant? I've got a 2 year old who likes to spill stuff in the car and am trying to decide was seat covers to go with.

Thanks!

New School, definitely.

Yes they are water resistant. I think I remember that "Wet Okole" stands for "Wet Butt" in Hawaiian. The best way to describe them would be they are like a very thin mouse pad or wet suite. Cloth like material on top with some rubber stuff on the bottom. Go to http://www.wetokole.com/ to get some samples.

New School, definately!!

Well I think I'm going with the new logo. I'm currently in the process of seeing if Wet Okole will use my custom made new Prius logo. They currently have the old one ready to order but not the new one.

What are the reasons for the covers? I have yet to see one up close. Are they warmer/cooler? What advantages?

I'm getting them because I think it will make the car look good.

I can appreciate the looks! But, how do they feel? I like the concept but in hot weather when the car's greehouse effect has interior at 130 degrees, do they moderate the seat temp like cloth or fry like leather when you first sit on them?

You will have to get an answer from someone that actually has them. They should not be hot by my guess because they are just like a wet suit only a lot thinner.

I just placed my order for the seat covers with the new Prius logo. Thanks to everyone that voted.

I should e getting them in a few weeks.
