    I want to get the Clazzio leather seat covers for my 2015 Prius II but I am really bad at color coordinating. I have the winter gray exterior paint and I plastidipped all the chrome and wheel covers. The interior of the doors is a light gray fabric but the floors are black. The dash is black with gray accents. I'm sure many of you have the same interior.

    I was thinking about getting the solid black leather seat covers but since the interior door walls are light gray I was wondering if this would clash. Maybe the dark gray covers would be better. I'm not sure if I want to go with a different color for the stitching though. Maybe dark gray with black stitching or black with dark or light gray stitching. Like I said I'm not good at matching colors.

    Any thoughts?

    I prefer the black over gray personally. All black with gray stitching is simple and clean. Order extra material from @HAWAIIANBUILT to rewrap your door panels to match. Or if you want to go a step further, you can do a two-tone black outer /gray inner look. Check out @Montgomery latest posts to see his new two-tone Clazzio covers.

    Here is how mine came out. I chose dark gray shoulders and light gray middle.

    I would recommend going with light grey, with black stitching. It will blend in with your gray and black interior. It will provide a welcoming interior and stay cooler if you don't have tinted windows.

    They look good but I could have sworn the sides were black and white in the middle. What color is the stitching?

    Thanks for the feedback. I've decided to go with solid black.

    I am so close to pulling the trigger with the ones from the Prius store here but then I saw this on ebay for $299

    Toyota Prius 2010 2015 Clazzio Custom Fit Synthetic Leather Seat Covers | eBay

    Clazzio Leather Seat Covers for 2010-2015 Toyota Prius - PriusChat Shop

    Are these the exact same covers as what the Prius Shop carries? If so, why are they $150 less? If they are the same I'm going to feel like a chump buying them from the Prius store. Ebay says they are synthetic leather but isn't that also true with the other ones?

    I have the $300 black covers from eBay and I love them. They are not the same as the covers from the PC shop. The eBay is all PVC while the PC is a mix of PVC and real leather for the centers.

    Interesting. Since your skin will really only rub on the sides of the covers which is PVC for both then they probably both feel the same. I guess if you drive naked you could feel the leather in the middle. lol

    Clazzio gives you the option to customize your covers. Instead of the one color look. I prefer the two-tone.
