Upholstery/Seat Covers ?

Anyone do this yet? From cloth to something else not stock.

 

Going burgundy myself, think it looks great with white cars.

 

Same, got them installed by the store front shop EKR in El Monte, outside L.A. 100$ install fee. It's off Rush Street.

Took about 3 weeks to ship to them. If in LA, very cheap and best way to have installed imo. 100 dollars is no brainer.

They look surprisingly amazing. A couple spots are not 100% but are unable to be seen unless looking from inside the trunk view right back rear top of seat.

And a tiny bit of fabric can be seen on the under corners inside (where the headrest poles go) veryyy slightly, and have to really look for it.

They said they may be able to hand stich a visual solution using the same fabric, making it so it's perfectly wrapped 100%

Make sure to buckle the straps that connect the back middle under between the three female seat buckle areas.

Will post pics.

230$ OTD *edit* (little haggling, saw them on Amazon for 375$ do not do that option, imo) for the front and rear, came with a middle console that actually fits near perfect, I couldn't tell it was a sleeve, thought they had made it custom at the shop.

Without a doubt, near perfect visually imo. Typically in really tough to please when it comes to design, aesthetics. Before they were installed I was presuming it wouldn't look great and I'd just ask them to take them off.

Very pleasant surprise.

 

Hope these are good enough examples.

I suggest calling and texting using number from Google or website directly. That person who replies and answers is very helpful and at the shop 5 days out of 7 ish.

They went above and beyond to answering anything etc.

Advise not to leave the shop until it's as perfect as possible. But I think after doing mine and one other, they've worked out any kinks or things they might forget while installing. Still best to have them install it in my opinion.

Before selling it to me, he said it would look about 95% stock.

I think that's correct. And without an eagle eye, to me it looks 98%



The part on the back of the rear seats at top of passenger side upper is unseen from every angle but looking from the trunk. Sitting inside normally you will not see that.

 

EKR brand

EKR Leather Custom Car Seat Covers for Toyota Prius

I have the leatherette, burgundy

They have 3 color combos as a template or you can custom order or you can custom order + upholstery, not just a cover.

 

Good question, I don't have those. I've heard a few solutions, one is to take out a layer of the padding on the bottom side. The other thing I've heard is that if just installed on top of a heated seat with no mods to padding, it does affect the heat but supposedly just in the speed you feel the heat. It still transfers buts takes more time possibly.

I can't say for sure.
