Seat Covers & side air bags
Kinda surprised no one has questioned this yet; but, do any of you have the side air bags? They are integrated into the seats; and any cover has to have some type of allowance for this. If you have them; then what method by the manufacturer was used to allow for side air bag deployment?

Trent - who was the other vendor who did the embroidery?

I bought new seat covers last month and am pretty happy with them. I got Coverking Neoprene ones. I first saw them and loved the color but when I looked around to find a better price, I saw the same brand at another site, except they offered the option of getting the JEEP logo embroidered on the headrest. I had a Grand Cherokee before my JK and had leather seats in it with the JEEP logo embroidered and loved the look! It cost an additional $30 for the embroidery, and the overall price was a little higher than others, but I decided to bite the bullet since I was in love with the way they looked with the logo.
The installation was a pain in the ass ( it took about an hour for the front and another hour for the back, believe it or not ) but I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. Make sure you check to see if you have side air bags and then choose the right ones. Also I don't like how the middle seat belt loses some reach as a result of the design of the seat covers, but for the majority I'm happy.
I took some pics but used my phone so I will have to post them separately. Overall I feel it was a good investment as the color is a near match to my Surf Blue Pearl Exterior.

color combo's
I see from pics that most of you guys are matching the seat covers to exterior color. Any suggestions from you guys out there with Stone White exterior. Trying to decide on grey/black or going with a color for accent....
What are your thoughts?
