There's a sorta military precedent for that anyway in the Blazers. At work
we have packages and packages of these 2-piece canvas seat covers which slip
over the back of the M1009 seat in the case of the first part, and sort of
tie around the seat bottom in the case of the second part. Evidently they
work for the M998A2 bucket seats as well, but I've never had any around to
try. The only thing I don't like about the covers is that they don't cover
the whole bottom of the seat (the seat 'wings' are left exposed), which
tends to leave the ugliest bits of thrashed vinyl visible.
Velour seats should be against the Geneva Convention. :)
