You can find katzkin sets on ebay for pretty cheap every once in a while. The only thing is that you would have to install it yourself to save some money. There was one user that bought a set and installed it himself a while back. Wrote a nice long thread about it to.

Exactly. Your not going to be able to find a cheap slip on cover that looks better than stock.

I've seen some advertised thru costco by a company called "coverking (http://www.coverking.com/)". I believe some of them are made of neoprene, so they should fit snugly. Dunno about the style/look, though.

I do not care for the seat covers,i just need some thing to cover it while i have a little baby in the back seat so thing dont get to the real seat that all.

well I guess there is a huge difference for the purposes of getting an aftermarket seat cover, either you want to protect the stock seat OR you want something to look better than the stock.

In this case, it's protection.

Hi mrbmwx5
Does the installation of the seat cover require removing the seats and putting them back on? or do they just slide over neatly?
these covers are also available from amazon offer what is expected - protect the seats from stains and be easy to clean.
I am looking to get a beige color to match my interior.
Thank you

Thank you for the quick reply
The ebay page says "to customize: cut holes to fit headrest, seatbelt, armrests.." did you have to do any of these?
Is the rear bottom bench easy to remove?
I have a 2009 Accord LXP, and have not figured out how to do that.

Did you get covers made specifically for the 8th gen coupe? I looked at black microfiber on their site and they only had up to 2006 for the accord coupe.
