Default seat covers?

I'm thinking about buying a set of mats and seat covers to give my neon a new look and feel.
The set I am looking at is here: eBay Auction
I think those things should fit fine, but I'm really not sure about the bench seat cover: other eBay auction

What do you all think? Do you have experience with this stuff?

your better off doing the back yourself doesnt take much time and looks nice too,the front is harder but worth the look, I didnt buy seat covers because of the way some slip around while your sitting down

What do you mean 'doing the back myself'? Instead of what?

just for a more custom look, also would save you some money for something else you might want for the inside of you car, the fabric I used only cost me $1 a yard at walmart total cost was $2 and some change, seat covers tend move around when your on them like clothing I guess it just depends on how you want it, the ebay kits aren't bad though

Heh, I can understand that. But in a car that I might end up selling, spending $100 on interior improvements is way more justifiable than spending $100 on the engine.

Can anyone give me a definite yes or no on whether the bench seat cover I linked to works on these 'built in' kind of bench seats like in the neon? Then again, even if they do I'll lose my fold-down capability, so maybe I should just forget it.

thats part of the reason I did my own. my seats fold back to and didnt want to lose that function, I'll check some of the ebay auctiions out and ask one of the people selling them, Im pretty sure you would lose your fold down though unless it specified that it was compatibable with the neons that fold down then I would assume you would, if your going to sell your car thats a good reason enough, you wont get much for $100 dollars for an underhood mod anyways except for a pulley,plugs, and some other stuff, Ill send a message to one of those people on ebay and get back to you
