Wet Okole Seat Covers

I gave them a call and they said the arm rest opens and closes but it will stick out a little due to the material.

I don't have a board right now but when I was actively surfing I would slip out of my board shorts and put on something dry before driving. It is a common practice here to change undercover of your towel.

 

No Problem I asked them if they had any out on display, I would have went to take some pics to post. I thought about the whole cold water thing and a wet suit and what not after my last post. That's cool your not a fair weather surfer. I have spent many a summer on the Jersey Shore in my youth. My parents had a place in Woodbine we would frequent Sea Isle City and other places in Cape May County. Where you at? I gotta get another board, IDK what I was thinking when I sold my last one.

 

It was me waiting for the Wet Okoles I ordered on 3/7. They should be here soon. I am anxious to see how they work out too. I don't surf but I have two kids (8 and 12) and a small dog. Between them and living close to the beach in Miami the car gets dirty. I'm still not sure how the material on the door panel is going to hold up..... I'll post a picture when I get them on the car.

 

Received the covers this week. About a month after ordering. Took almost 4 hrs to install. Fit looks good. Got lumbar and seat pockets, solid balck with beige piping. Bought black with beige piping because of concern in matching OEM beige interior color. Piping is different but is "close enough". I got the Euro mudguards but now I'm not too sure I really want them on the car - my wife isn't either. I have the OEM foglights purchased thru Prius Chat but haven't had them installed. I'll try and attach pictures soon.

 

Not to derail this thread into mudguards, but why do you think that you might not want to install them?

Wernolabound, any hints concerning the installation of the backseat covers,
I have yet to install my backseat covers.
Lets see some pics, seems like a great combo.

 

The Euro mudguards are a little big. They need to be ancored better than the existing holes can manage neccessitating the drilling of additional holes. I'm just not sure I want to do that. I'm not going for a "pimped-out" look for the car but a finished aero look. Not sure they fit with my image of the car...

 

Could you post some pics please.

I must say I am impressed with the Wet Okole. I had to remove the seat base on the back seat and it was a bit difficult to release. Insert a screw driver to get the plastic "snaps" to release. I do not find the arm rest to protrude to any great extent. It does stick out a tiny bit so is not as flush as stock but would not interfere with a passenger or appear unkept at all. I removed the front seats as well to get the covers on correctly. That was easy. Total install took about three hours.

I am techno ignorant and need some help to post pictures of the covers. I've asked my 12 year old for help. Hope to get some pics up soon.

 

Ordered mine yesterday - front only for now.

 

I tried to PM you a couple of times but I don't think you are receiving PM's. If you did not install or return your euro mudguards, would you be interested in selling them? I am currently in Alabama and will be in eastern central Florida over the Independence Day weekend. Feel free to PM me back.

 

Here's my Gen III (2011). The rear cup/arm rest goes back like it did before the covers. (the amount it sticks out is negligible). I went with the grey/black because none of the swatches matched the weird grey/green beige interior.
