Forester Seat Covers?

[LT]

Can anyone recommend a brand (and website if possible) for seat covers on my
98 Forester?
Thanks

I'm assuming the MY98 didn't have side airbags. I've read where the side
airbags are in the seat so that covering them up would essentially render
the side airbags useless.

Members of the group, does this sound right?

they do all sorts of stuff for subies... very good company to deal with...

my covers have holes in the side to allow for the deployment of the airbags.

I really didn't like the look of them, but the fitter said that if i was in
an accident, my insurance company would give me dramas if i had standard
seat covers without the holes.

Any updates on where to get Forrester seat covers?
So far, I've found "custom" houses that sell for $200+, and "universal" covers for $20 - $80.
I prefer cheap. Has anyone tried cheap covers?
