While I respect your unique taste and I dig the theme, I had a hard time with my bright safety yellow wet okole's ....
I mean keeping them clean in my TJ...finally gave up and had the OE seats recovered in black/ grey.

My extremely cool neighbor got me one for Christmas. It fits a real bus, but on a JK it's just too massive. It's about 18 inches across. I'll have to make a small one, or better yet, pay someone to fabricate a smaller one for me.

Wet Okole will work with you make non-standard seat covers. They usually do color inserts with black outer-edging. If you go to their store in Costa Mesa, plead with them what you want them to make, in my case all green seats with black piping, and pay them in advance, they'll do it. They'd rather have your money than protect you from your own bad taste!! Good luck with YOUR cool one-off project. Cool or crazy...
Don't worry, he can't reach the pedals.
The back row had impressions from the car seats. If left out for a few days, the seat cover goes back to normal.
The green wasn't as dark as I'd like (the green vinyl in my school busses was pretty dark) so I went with the black piping. It really helps blend it in and break it up.
The backs of the front seats have pockets for my kids' hats, juice, melted chocolate...
Overall, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. Really bussy.

Love it! Glad to see that you are having fun with your Jeep. That's why I purchased mine, so me and my kids could have fun with it! Bottom line is that it's your Jeep, you paid for it, so have fun with it
