I want to put seat covers on my FRC. I'm looking to protech the bolsters and perhaps get a little more comfort in the winter.
I am wondering whether to get Sheepskin or the Wet Oakle type. I kinda lean toward the Sheepskin. Does any one have experience with this?
Do the covers help to stop the bolster damage? Any source recommendations?
I wanted to get Sheepskin on my '86 but since I had the Sport Seats I was not able to. The FRC has Standard seats so that should not be a problem.

I put a set of wet okole cover in my 2001. I have sport seats and they fit great. It’s a little rough getting the straps underneath but I ended up snaking them with a wire coat hanger.

The covers are top notch and definitely add some warmth and cushioning, however I have found that I needed to reset my seat settings. The seat covers tend to push you a bit forward

If it's comfort you want, then Sheepskin is what you should go with. I don't personally like the look, but as we always say here,"Whatever works for YOU is good." Sheepskin will also protect, but will eventually get matted down.

Wet Okole's will protect beautifully, but will not provide you that warmth you may be looking for in the winter months. It is, afterall, just neoprene...and I've neve put on a "warm" wetsuit! The Wet Okoles LOOK beautiful though, especially when matched to the car and with the Corvette emblem.

Either one will save your seats in the long run.
