Hate my upholstery...

My wife insisted we get the grey interior when we got our car. I have to say it does hide the dirt (maybe a little better than the tan interior)

Still - even though I had protective blankets over the back seats, my daughter managed to smear melted lollypop goo over her side. It took many deep breaths, but I think I'm over it now.

 

I had the leather added. It was a kit made by a very reputable company called Katzkin and installed by Auot Sunroof of Larchmont for $995 While they were at it I had them add heated front seats. The color you have in the same as mine. It is called BISQUE and is not the same as 2004-5 The leather package included EVERYTHING..! Door armrests, Console cover, rear armrest, headrests and seats. Seat airbags are no problem. There's even the little tags on the sides of my front seats that read airbags. Here are some pics.

Are seat covers an acceptable option?

Yes, and the funny thing the pics were all taken this morning. Back to back same camera same car within seconds of eachother. :huh:

 

well since hubby's always got some kind of oily mess on or around him, we got seat covers. we got them from toyotapartsstore.com, but they're gt covers. if you go this route go with whoever's cheaper when you look, it's the same product.

they're nice covers, durable and they clean off pretty nicely. reminds me, it's been a while since i've done that.

Katzkin is the best leather kit...IMHO B)

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(BobZ @ Sep 24 2006, 09:38 PM) [snapback]324376[/snapback]</div>

I know!
But does anyone have any photos of a best leather kit?
Does either include the armrest?

 

Hmm, is leather really that good, abeit the expense?

 

Best thing about leather is that it's a renewable resource
second best is that it's easier to keep clean

I'm told worst thing is that legs stick to it

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(prius2go @ Sep 24 2006, 05:16 PM) [snapback]324391[/snapback]</div>

Seat covers are an alternative, cheaper solution.

We have a set of Wet Okole's ordered - we just got the ones for the front seats, but they make them for all seats.

Made of neoprene, if they get dirty, just wash them. I can't wait to get them - should add a little extra cushioning to the seats, too!
