I did get front and rear. The front style is V - 40/20/40 and the rear style is L - 40/60 w/o headrests. Tell them the model year and cab configuration. The pattern is custom fit for our Daks. They are quite expensive, more than $500 for the sets. My insert color is 21 - light gray, it's a close match to the headliner/trim in the cab.

They do look really good but that's alotta dough for cloth covers IMO. As an FYI for those that would like to upgrade from their cloth factory seats to leather but think it's alot more expensive, it's not, you can get a QC leather interior kit(covers) for less than $700.
I actually have a new beige QC leather kit(fits 2000+) I bought a couple months back that I got for a discount and was going to use it in my wives RC Dakota(uses same front seat covers) but she wanted different color even though I liked it:( So I have since bought the color she wanted and have the beige kit for sale. I am asking $400 shipped for the whole kit including replacement leather for door panels if anyone is interested. Think I will throw it up on ebay to get rid of it soon since it won't fit my CC and my next Dak will be a Gen IV QC so the interior prolly won't fit either.

Actually they aren't cloth at all...they are neoprene or wet suit material. They actually add a good amount of cushioning to the factory seats and I can't tell you how many complements I have recieved on mine.

I know that, sorry, I mistyped but it still does not warrant the price IMO for strapon covers. Neoprene is a whole nother subject on maintenance to take care of your investment:) I have neoprene roll bar covers and even with treating them couple times a week with wet okole UV protectant they still have dried out and faded from grey to almost white in only two months of outdoor summer exposure despite my efforts and $8 bottle of protectant and $8 bottle of wet okole shampoo. Not a smart buy if you like to put something on and do little after. If you dont have darkly tinted windows and use a sunscreen for your front window, fading and drying out will occur in a matter of months. But like I said they do look good and may look like custom upholstery up close but too much effort after your high dollar purchase for seat covers for my tastes. I'll stick with my leather and 3x per year conditioning costing me $10 so they stay like new:)

Actually the maintenance is not that bad. The neoprene is covered in Lycra (spanex like you see in workout clothes. This keeps the sun off the neoprene. The UV protectant goes on the Lycra and protects it. Need to be treated every 6 months or so. After having mine for 16 months they look as good as new. I'm sure bare noeprene would react differently. I second Jon comments about the extra padding. They are a big advantage over leather in the hot south texas sun they cool off much quicker and sweat doesn't make them sticky or slippery.
