    I know I will get flamed....I did leather too; two-tone with perforated leather for the centers of the seats, heated seats also. It came out beautiful, no stitching as mentioned above. The total cost was $1,850.

    I have the ivory interior, so I went with ivory and dark graphite, the graphite is in the center of the seats, (seating portion) and the rest of the seats are ivory. I also did the arm rests and center console in graphite. The graphite matches the black plastic panels on the interior. It looks terrific.

    The place I used is:Coach Aotomotive Restyling, 510.487.1377, they are in Union City, CA.
    Good Luck!

    Personally I can't see spending that type of money on leather. Granted the two tone leather looks good BUT it isTOO hot in the summer and TOO cold in the winter. Even with the heated option, it takes a while for it to work. I love the OEM material and would not even accept leather if it was for free. No... I am not a veggie.. matter of fact I gotta put a roast in the oven now. ta ta!! :mrgreen:

    First of all, I want to apoligise to Alster. I was interested in his covers, but decided to have custom leather instead.

    I paid an extra $1500.00 for it but my seats are fabulous!!

    I put light beige leather into my 2004 bergundy Prius. Love it and have ordered a new millennium silver Prius. What color should I go with?

    This will be my third Prius. My first was a 2001.

    I don't know what color interior the silver Prius comes with. I try to play off the colors already present in the car for a better match.

    Here are a few more pictures of my leatehr interior it is done in Ivory leather and Dark Graphite. The centers of the seats are perforated leather. The headresrs can't be done in perforated so they are plain leather.
