    I think the shop sent me the wrong seat covers. They are black instead of the gray on my car. My wife said they look okay, what do you guys think?

    Looks better that way to me as it gives more of a two-tone look than monotone Dark Gray.

    The real question is, do you like it?

    I really like them.
    Where did you get 'em?
    And how hard are they to put on?

    clazzio seats 450 shipped. they are not hard to put on, but very mcch a pain in the rear. the instruction said 2 hours, but an average person will probably need 4 to 6 hours. an extra person and strong hands and arms will help. best ppart is that everything is a slip on

    The black seat covers look good, but not sure about the 2-tone look. That's what I like about my dark gray leather interior, where at least the seats match the door panels and dash/console pieces. If the rest of the plastic parts (console, dash, panels) and carpet was black, then I think it would look good. Just a little too much overtones for my tastes.

    As an owner who did the full reupholstery thing with the Bartlett kit, I have to say those look REALLY nice for covers! It is hard to tell, but are the centers perforated or woven?

    I happen to like the black with the gray. I would have gone that way had I had a choice (Bartlett only makes factory replacements). Now I need to sell my new leather interior, find some 2009 seats and put those covers on, LOL.

    Oh, and you REALLY need to add some more electronic stuff hanging on the console! :D

    Keep the black. The will do 1000% better in not showing dirt compared to the grey.

    5.5 hours later, I got the backseats and the passenger seat done. I am just waiting for my heated seat kit to come so I can install heated seats on the driver seat hile I am at it. Here are some pics

    Sorry for the quality, it's rainy as hell outside and my garage is full of energy savers.

    Center is perforated and outside is real leather.

    I installed 50% of it yesterday. My gf said the car had the new car leather smell when she drove to the gym this morning, she absolutely loves it. My puppy was confused why the new seats don't have her smell on it

    Is that a factory-installed option or was it installed after leaving the factory (at the port, etc.)?

    It's a "dealer option". Installed after leaving the factory. I believe it's done by a professional leather shop, the kind that does the 'pimp my ride' kind of leather.

    If you haven't seen it, Clazzio has a YouTube video which shows how its gray seat covers would look on a 2010 Prius dark gray interior:

    It does, but I have a feeling the car will probably cost more than my package II + $450 :)
