    Cmmendes79,

    I'm certain that you and Jimbok were referring to the Exact Fit Seat Covers sold on ebay by exactseatcovers.com.

    Here's a link to the 2-row, front and back set of covers in gray velor for $62.10:

    2005-2009 TOYOTA PRIUS BUCKETS SEAT COVERS : eBay Motors (item 200441030388 end time Mar-20-10 10:38:24 PDT)

    I searched the exactseatcovers.com store site for just the back seat covers, but couldn't find any. But I'm pretty sure that they used to sell the front and back seat covers separately. If you only want the back seat covers (and don't want to spend the extra money for the full 2-row set), maybe you can search the store site some more, or contact the store to ask.

    Good luck.

    Hey Tom,

    Thank you! That was definitely the website! However, upon checking out their website I have a question: Is it just me or have the prices doubled since last year?! I had paid about $50 or $60 for the two front seats, headrests and center console covers and now it's $100! What's THAT all about???

    Cesar,

    I know what you mean. If you go to the exactseatcover.com ebay store, it seems as if it has varying prices for the same items. Maybe there was something in the fine print distinguishing the items, I don't know. But that's why I posted that specific link for you where the 2-row (front and back) seat covers, including the center console cover (and I think the headrest covers), in gray velor goes for $62.10 (on sale from $69):

    2005-2009 TOYOTA PRIUS BUCKETS SEAT COVERS : eBay Motors (item 200441030388 end time Mar-20-10 10:38:24 PDT)

    I think if you visit the exactseatcover.com ebay store, you have to zero in on those covers selling for $69 or less, and confirm that the description matches what you want or expect.

    Good luck.

    Hey Tom,

    Thanks again for the link! I contacted the company about the price difference (b/c apparently i'm a crotchety old man, hahaha) and this is what the customer rep said:

    "sounds like you bought your covers on ebay. We have some instock items on ebay that are discounted since they are already made and taking up space."

    so yeah, basically the ebay store products are cheaper than the company's main website. i'll probably keep my eyes open for the rear seat cover or just buy the front-rear combo package b/c it seems to be the same price anyway.

    wow, i've never spoken so much about seat covers.

    thanks again!

    Actually, until now I never saw the exactseatcover.com site. I was talking about varying prices on their eBay store site. Her explanation doesn't fully explain why there are apparently different prices for their covers on their eBay store site which they call the "Exact Fit Seat Covers" store. :confused:

    In any event, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've ever seen them sell the rear seat cover separately on eBay. I may have been confusing the fact that they sell the front seat covers separately.

    * * * *

    BTW, that link I first gave you has changed. Before it was $62.10 for 2-row front and back seat covers in gray velor. Now it's $62.10 for the 2 front seats only.

    Wth???

    * * * *

    And now I can only find this different link for 2-row front and back seat covers in gray velor for $69 (not $62.10/10% off):

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    Wth????

    * * * *

    With all of their varying prices on eBay and their apparent constantly changing links, my guess is that they put stuff on sale on eBay one at a time. Once that item is sold, the link may change. So, if you find what you want and at the price you want on their eBay store site, then you should probably act sooner rather than later.

    i bought and received my seat covers from exactseatcover.com's ebay store. i paid $62 for both the front and back seat covers! however, i accidentally bought them in beige, not gray. i immediately emailed them and got A RESPONSE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT!! he ok'd switching the color before sending it out that same day. they really have excellent customer service and great prices! i'm a second time customer and still recommend them highly...thank you priuschat ;)
