Default Seat cover-no Guts

Does anyone make a seat cover for the Guts tall foam, other than Guts? I have the Guts cover on there now and don't much care for it. 6 mos old and already frayed. My stock cover was 7 years old and was 100% intact. Plus, I like the stock gripper material better.

I bought some gripper material from a local outdoor fabric store. The stuff lasts as long as premade gripper covers and costs $12 a yard, enough for three covers. Any of you local guys are welcome to one of my covers installed for $20.

Paul, do you have a pic of your seat?

I would be interested in seeing that as well. If you are buying the material I am assuming it is as a flat sheet which doesn't sound like it would lend itself to a nice, clean factory look. Or maybe I am wrong...

It takes me nearly as long to resize the pics to downloadable size as it does to put a cover on. They come out nice. I start at the front staple it down, then the back and then the sides.

I should note the fabric doesn't have the cool swirl seen in the pics, something about the resize added it.

Seat looks good.
Heating up the cover in the clothes drier makes it go on easier. It will shrink when it cools off, for a nice tight fit.
