Types of car covers

The accessories market offers us the following three types:

1. Universal. Sold as a set, they are designed for a vehicle with a spacious configuration of seats. This type belongs to the budget category, because it is sewn from cheap material and does not have a diverse range. However, this does not mean that they are of poor quality. Universal covers perfectly fit the seat, fully providing the required functionality.
2. Model. This type is made according to the patterns of a specific machine model. It has a meager color range. Plus the fact that model autocovers in case of an accident allow airbags that are installed in the seats to freely fly out.
3. Custom Made for a particular brand of car. A car enthusiast can order an individual autocover. He can choose absolutely any material, colors and shapes. Such products always sit perfectly on the seat. The only disadvantage is the high price.

We decide on the choice of drawing and color
