I think with Bucket Seats you are not going to get any covers that are a snug fit.
I do have some not bad seat covers in Blue, but that was the easy option as Alex does leave a few things behind. So they could be removed and cleaned. Of if chewed replaced at minimum cost.
At $2,000 to recover. It maybe worth talking to Moonlight and see what is on offer in Jap Land.
Or go shopping at Zebra.

I'm considering similar things once again.

I found NZKW seats on TradeMe. Bolt on assembly for fitting to SW20. Cant argue about $550 for a pair of seats, although I have no idea what kind of quality to expect.
Can you fit the GT86 seats without a cert? Or do you need to modify the rails?

I'd definitely be going for the custom replacements. I've never had a good experience with slip ons!
