need help locating a nice seat cover

OK guys, i need pointed in the right direction here.
I've searched wall marts, k marts, targets, advance auto, auto zone, napa, even jegs, did a few google searches, and I can't find what I am looking for.
I am sick of these cheesey looking seat covers;

Stupid strings and ropes hanging all over in the back...

It just looks like crap.
About 5 years ago, I found a decent looking one, but the thing was NEVER tight. It was like tossing a sheet over the seat and tucking it in;

It was very thin, very cheap, and wouldn't have lasted a year.
I am looking for a seat cover, that will stay tight on the seat, look good, somewhat durable, hopefully covers the back of the seat, white or off white would be a bonus, vinal or cloth... either would do fine.
I need something to hold me a year or two untill i can redo the seats to stock.
Removing the seat cover is not an option... as much as i hade the brown seat cover, duct tame is worse.
If a seat cover that looks good in the same vehicle with this....

That would be the ultimate.
So does anyone have a link, a catalog, a photo... ANYTHING!?!?!?!

mike... can you send me some big photos to cockroach93 at yahoo? (prevented link to prevent spam bots)
Where and when is the MV deal? I'm pretty sure I know a few ppl going that would be willing to hook me up.
Screw the seat cover!

Re: need help locating a nice seat cover

Do you have a back seat in similar condition? (3 row seat, don't care if it's the second or third)

Re: need help locating a nice seat cover

ok, I don't need that. I have the one pictured up top, and then one with the fabric inserts in great shape too. The fabric one is the 3rd seat now, and it rarely even gets put in the truck.
From what i see in the prilimanary photos, consider it sold. Send me the larger pics when you can, and I'll be trying to get ahold of someone to bring it north, or someone who may be going to both that meet and the main board meet in Tn and I'll just pick it up then.
