Just few quick words on the fit and quality of replacement seat covers available from Swedish Auto Lamps for Less.

I purchased a set of these a little while back and got around to installing the covers this weekend -

Quality is good, upholstery grade vinyl, similar to if not the same as OEM. Color match to my 92 beige is spot on. Overall stitching, fit and attention to detail is good. You do need to transfer over the various retaining bars and bits, and will also have to perforate the portions where the hog rings / zip ties latch on. My only quibble, and it is a very small one, is the stitching toward the front of the seat where it tucks under - seemed a bit uneven once tensioned in place, completely unlike the remainder of the seat. That said, very pleased with the end result and would purchase from them again. Called them up and they posted up a pair of seats for a few bucks less and with lower shipping since I needed the pair. Will post a few pictures soon.
