Ralliart Seat Covers

Has anyone tried the mitsubishi seatcovers for the ralliart?

The part number thread lists:

MZ312855 for front seat
and
MZ503358EX for rear seat

I'm wondering about the quality and fit.

Thanks!

Ive not seen them in person, but have been told that they will not work with Side Air bags... The airbag cannot tear through the covers in an accident... Just a thought on that 06 of yours...

I got Lancer seat covers from MOD 06. I didn't see any RalliArt ones because I was an hour late. I assume the only difference is that they say RalliArt instead of Lancer. I've only got front seat covers, the actual seat covers fit great. I gave up trying to get the headrest covers on. They seemed too small and would squeeze over the headrest. They looked retarded anyways.

Why would an airbag need to tear through the seat cover? I thought they were mounted in the side of the car, not in the seats?

No, the side airbags are in the seats. Note if you have them(at least in an 05) there should be little tags sowen into the seams of the front seats with SRS labels.

Oh, sorry, didn't know. I have an 04. The seat covers come up fairly high on the sides though, maybe they clear the airbags. I'd think it kinda odd for Mitsubishi to sell an incompatable product. Especially something that serious dealing with safety.

thats why when you order the accessory covers, the guy at the parts counter will ask if you have side air bags... Not all accessories are compatible with every car...

I got mine off of ebay and put them on today. The fit is pretty good. Unfortunately, I didn't think about the SRS thingy in the seats when I won 'em, but I guess I'll take the chance (for now). I'm hoping the material they're made of will help keep the fabric on the seats intact during the winter.

Here are some pictures of them. The pictures aren't that great, but I tried my "semi-best" heh.








So you know it's authentic .
