This is why I installed the Clazzio leather seats

    I agree. I just couldn't justify the cost that Toyota was charging.

    Hey cossie,

    Does your rear armrest section sit weird? I've been trying to figure out a way to conform the armrest hole area better short of double sided tape or glue in case they come off later.

    Armrest meaning the middle part or the one on the side? You shouldn't have to tape anything. Did you slide the leather underneath the cupholder?

    No I'm talking about the "hole" where the armrest folds into. The top part of mine tents to sag a little. Its one of the few ways you can tell its a cover and not OEM or katskinz.

    Can you post some picture of dark grey seat cover after installation?

    See post #25 at:

    Which is why I'm leaning to all black... no grey center panel... just all black: more "elegant," not as bland... all grey is "too much grey?" But what do I know? Retired, red-neck economist here... not a color coordinator :heh:

    The pictures you link to are of the same gray seat covers I have. The difference is that I have the bisque interior. My impression of the black on the bisque was that it was too much contrast. I think against the gray interior, though, it would probably be fine.

    I'll try. I'm pretty busy until April 18th. I installed the front seats but haven't yet gotten to doing the back ones, so the pictures might just be of the front. That would be enough to give you an idea of the color pairing, though.

    BTW, I notice you're in California. If you happen to be near Torrance, I recommend driving over to the factory warehouse. They were willing to open up packages with different colors and let me lay the covers over my seats so I could actually see the seat covers in my car. Very helpful. They will make arrangements for Saturday, too, if needed.

    Hi Andreuccio,

    Could you post a contact info of the factory warehouse? How much did they charge the seat cover? thanks!
