I realize this is a long shot...but never hurts to ask.

If anyone has a set of Wet Okole Seat Covers you are willing to part with or can be convinced with a cash money offer, let me know!

TIA  embeer

Re: WTB Wet Okole Seat Covers

If you end up buying them new you can get a discount if you go through AutoAnything.  They have a 20% off code quite often.

They have a 15% off now with Free Shipping - but the 9-2x is not an option in the drop down menu when selecting fitment....

I have also heard a few stories of orders being off if going thru vendors. The questionnaire you fill out on the Wet Okole site is like 50+ questions long, whereas vendors only require a few inputs, seems like there is room for more to be lost in translation.

Which makes me come to this conclusion....risk spending close to $500 and hope that ordering 2005 "Impreza" seat covers thru a vendor will exact fit the 9-2x? Or forget the 15% off coupon and order direct from Wet Okole where 9-2x is an ordering option.

Anyone who has purchased these....inputs are welcome regarding ordering 2005 "Impreza" covers (with seperate headrests) thru a vendor like AutoAnything.

Re: WTB Wet Okole Seat Covers

Up to you but I can say I ordered them from AutoAnything myself and got the right ones.  Saab 9-2x was not an option so I chose 2006 Subaru Impreza. 

You can always call Wet Okole and ask if the 2006 Subaru Impreza covers are the exact same as the 2005 Saab 9-2x covers .... I'm pretty sure that is what I did because I had the same thoughts.

Re: WTB Wet Okole Seat Covers

Fun fact I learned on a recent trip to Maui: Okole is a term for butt.

So you ordered the 2006 Impreza covers with the detached 2-post headrests? Any chance you can look up your invoice and verify that? I would rather trust someone who ordered them and installed them than hoping whoever I talk to on the phone thinks they are the same....

Thanks!

Re: WTB Wet Okole Seat Covers

I'm actually going this route as well.  I spoke with autoanything and kind of got an answer. The guy said he can't guarantee they will fit but is 100% sure they will  unamused  he did confirm they had separate pieces for the head rest.   A 15% restocking fee for returns.

What style and color you going with?  I don't know whether to stick with something close to stock or do a color change.  Door cards wouldn't be to bad to change.   I figure I won't be pulling the covers off after I put them on so its a chance to change that awful stock color for the seats.

I think my plan is just to go all black, front and back seats.

I know they have a stock(ish) looking silver(ish) center portion, but I would rather stick with all black and not cross my fingers that the colors look "close enough."

I plan to call Wet Okole and see if they can give me an affirmative on 2006 Impreza covers fitting our seats.
